Anterior subluxation of right sternoclavicular joint, init

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the right sternoclavicular joint, where the clavicle has moved forward relative to the sternum. The joint surfaces are still in partial contact, but the normal alignment is disrupted. This injury typically results from trauma to the shoulder or upper chest.

Apply this code when documenting an initial encounter for a patient presenting with an anterior subluxation of the right sternoclavicular joint. This includes cases diagnosed in the emergency department, urgent care, or during the first visit to a specialist for this specific injury. It is appropriate for acute traumatic events.

• Ensure documentation specifies "anterior" and "right" to support this code.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of this specific injury.
• Do not use for complete dislocations or for subsequent encounters.
