Subluxation of unsp parts of right shoulder girdle, sequela

This code indicates a partial dislocation of an unspecified joint within the right shoulder girdle, such as the acromioclavicular or sternoclavicular joint, where the condition is a long-term consequence of an initial injury. The "sequela" designation signifies that this subluxation is a residual effect or complication of a previously resolved acute injury.

Use this code when documenting a chronic or late-effect subluxation of the right shoulder girdle, where the specific joint involved is not documented. This applies to situations where the original injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience symptoms or structural changes related to the subluxation.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the subluxation is a "sequela" or "late effect" of a prior injury.
• Only use this code when the specific joint (e.g., acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular) within the shoulder girdle is not identified in the medical record.
• Always sequence this code after the code for the original injury, if applicable and still being treated.
