Subluxation of oth prt right shoulder girdle, init encntr

This code signifies a partial dislocation of a component of the right shoulder girdle, excluding the glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular joint, or sternoclavicular joint. This means that the joint surfaces are no longer perfectly aligned but still maintain some contact. This is the initial encounter for this specific injury.

Use this code when documenting the first treatment or evaluation for a patient presenting with a subluxation of the right scapula, coracoid process, or other unspecified part of the shoulder girdle. This applies to acute injuries where the patient is seeking initial care.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right" shoulder and "subluxation" of a part other than the AC, SC, or glenohumeral joints.
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment.
• Do not use this code for complete dislocations or for subluxations of the AC, SC, or glenohumeral joints, as those have more specific codes.
