Other dislocation of right shoulder joint, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect resulting from a previous dislocation of the right shoulder joint, where the specific type of dislocation is not otherwise specified. It indicates that the patient is experiencing residual problems or complications directly attributable to that past injury, rather than an acute event.

Use this code when documenting conditions such as chronic instability, recurrent subluxations, persistent pain, or limited range of motion in the right shoulder that are a direct consequence of a prior dislocation. This code is appropriate when the initial acute injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are still present and require ongoing management.

• Always assign a secondary code to describe the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, instability).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past right shoulder dislocation.
• Do not use for acute or current dislocations; those require codes from the initial injury category.
