Unspecified dislocation of right shoulder joint, sequela

This code indicates a long-term complication or late effect resulting from a dislocation of the right shoulder joint, where the specific type of dislocation (e.g., anterior, posterior) was not documented. It signifies that the patient is experiencing ongoing issues directly attributable to a past shoulder dislocation.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a chronic condition, functional impairment, or other sequela directly related to a previously sustained, unspecified dislocation of the right shoulder. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the residual effects, not the initial injury.

• Requires a seventh character of "S" to denote sequela, indicating a late effect.
• Always sequence this code after the code for the primary condition or manifestation of the sequela.
• Do not use for acute or initial encounters of a shoulder dislocation; those require an "A" or "D" seventh character.
