did they injure it or is this more degenerative?

I was also wondering lateral collateral ligament tear for the elbow
Show no injury, 728.89 or still use 841.X

Hey 
I think "Instability of the radial collateral ligament" leads to two codes as --
If traumatic then 841.0
& if non-traumatic then 718.92
So in this case, can we use 718.92????
