Other subluxation of right shoulder joint, sequela

This code signifies a persistent or late-appearing complication resulting from a previous, unspecified subluxation of the right shoulder joint. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient is now experiencing a long-term consequence directly attributable to that past subluxation.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, instability, limited range of motion, or other residual issues in the right shoulder that are a direct result of a prior subluxation. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these lasting effects, not the initial injury itself.

• Always link this sequela code to an external cause code (V00-Y99) if the original injury's cause is known and relevant to the current encounter.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the current condition is a "sequela" or "due to old injury" of a right shoulder subluxation.
• Do not use this code for acute or initial subluxations; those require codes from the acute injury section.
