Subluxation of unsp parts of right shoulder girdle, init

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the right shoulder girdle, where the bones are no longer properly aligned but remain in contact. It indicates that the patient is receiving active treatment for this injury for the first time. The specific joint within the shoulder girdle (e.g., acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular) is not documented.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed subluxation of the right shoulder girdle, such as after a fall or direct trauma. This applies when the physician's documentation confirms a subluxation but does not specify the exact anatomical location within the shoulder girdle. It is appropriate for the initial visit and subsequent visits where active treatment is being rendered.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "subluxation" and specifies the "right" side.
• Only use "unspecified parts" when the specific joint (e.g., acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular) is not identified in the medical record.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment.
