Dislocation of other parts of right shoulder girdle, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from a dislocation affecting a part of the right shoulder girdle, excluding the glenohumeral joint. This could involve the acromioclavicular or sternoclavicular joints, or other unspecified parts of the shoulder girdle, where the initial injury has resolved but its lasting effects persist.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues directly attributable to a previously treated dislocation of the right shoulder girdle. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the sequelae, such as chronic pain, instability, or limited range of motion, are being addressed. Do not use for the initial acute dislocation.

• Always sequence this code after the code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, instability).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past right shoulder girdle dislocation.
• Verify the dislocation was of a "part of" the shoulder girdle and not the main glenohumeral joint.
