Sprain of oth parts of right shoulder girdle, init encntr

This code signifies a sprain affecting a specific, but not otherwise classified, ligamentous structure within the right shoulder girdle. This injury involves stretching or tearing of the ligaments supporting the shoulder joint, excluding the acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, or coracoclavicular ligaments.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a sprain of a named ligament in the right shoulder girdle that doesn't have a more specific ICD-10-CM code (e.g., coracoacromial ligament sprain). This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right shoulder" and "initial encounter."
• Do not use this code if a more specific code for an acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, or coracoclavicular sprain is available.
• Verify that the sprain is of a ligament and not a muscle strain or contusion.
