Subluxation of other parts of right shoulder girdle, sequela

This code signifies a persistent or late-effect subluxation (partial dislocation) affecting a portion of the right shoulder girdle, excluding the glenohumeral joint. This indicates an instability or misalignment that remains after the initial injury has healed.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic or residual subluxation of the right acromioclavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint, or other unspecified parts of the shoulder girdle. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the long-term consequences of a previous injury are being addressed.

• Requires a seventh character 'S' to indicate sequela, meaning a late effect of an earlier injury.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the right side and that the subluxation is not of the glenohumeral joint.
• Always link this sequela code to an external cause code (V00-Y99) to identify the original injury if known and applicable.
