Unsp dislocation of right sternoclavicular joint, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or late effect stemming from an unconfirmed dislocation of the right sternoclavicular joint. It indicates that the initial injury occurred in the past, and the patient is now presenting with residual problems or conditions directly attributable to that prior dislocation, where the specific type of dislocation was not documented.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, limited range of motion, instability, or other persistent issues on the right side, clearly linked to a previous sternoclavicular joint dislocation that was not specified as anterior or posterior. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the lasting impact of such an injury.

• Requires a seventh character 'S' to indicate sequela.
• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a prior unspecified right sternoclavicular dislocation.
