Subluxation of right acromioclavicular joint, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or late effect of a partial dislocation of the right acromioclavicular (AC) joint. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing symptoms or complications resulting from a previous injury where the clavicle partially separated from the acromion on the right side.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with persistent pain, instability, limited range of motion, or other long-term issues directly attributable to a past right AC joint subluxation. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing the chronic sequelae, rather than the initial acute injury.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., pain, arthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous right AC joint subluxation.
• Do not use for acute or initial encounters of an AC joint subluxation; those require acute injury codes.
