Dislocation of r acromioclav jt, > 200% displacmnt, init

This code signifies a severe injury to the right shoulder where the collarbone (clavicle) has completely separated from the shoulder blade (scapula) at the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. The displacement is extreme, exceeding twice the normal joint width, indicating a significant ligamentous tear.

This code is appropriate for initial encounters with patients presenting with a high-grade right AC joint dislocation, typically resulting from direct trauma to the shoulder. It applies when imaging confirms a displacement of over 200%, often classified as a Rockwood Type V or VI injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" shoulder and "greater than 200% displacement" or equivalent high-grade description.
• Verify this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
• Confirm the injury is indeed a dislocation of the AC joint, not a fracture or other shoulder injury.
