Dislocation of r acromioclav jt, > 200% displacmnt, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or late effect of a severe dislocation of the right acromioclavicular (AC) joint, characterized by a significant upward displacement of the clavicle relative to the acromion, exceeding 200%. This indicates a complete disruption of the AC and coracoclavicular ligaments, resulting in persistent instability and potential functional impairment.

Use this code when documenting the long-term consequences or residual issues from a past, severe right AC joint dislocation with greater than 200% displacement. This applies to patients presenting for follow-up care, management of chronic pain, limited range of motion, or surgical intervention for persistent instability stemming from the original injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic condition resulting from a previous injury.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific displacement percentage (greater than 200%) are explicitly documented.
• Do not use for initial or acute injury encounters; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
