In ICD-10-CM, coders will report codes in the S43- series (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of shoulder girdle) when a physician documents a subluxation or dislocation of the shoulder joint. These codes require seven characters, including a seventh character to denote the encounter (initial, subsequent, or sequela).
- S43.0, subluxation and dislocation of shoulder joint
- S43.1, subluxation and dislocation of acromioclavicular joint
- S43.2, subluxation and dislocation of sternoclavicular joint
- S43.3, subluxation and dislocation of other and unspecified parts of shoulder girdle
- S43.10, unspecified dislocation of acromioclavicular joint
- S43.11, subluxation of acromioclavicular joint
- S43.12, dislocation of acromioclavicular joint, 100%-200% displacement
- S43.13, dislocation of acromioclavicular joint, greater than 200% displacement
- S43.14, inferior dislocation of acromioclavicular joint
