What is the ICD 10 code for separated shoulder?

The ICD code S431 is used to code Separated shoulder. A separated shoulder (also known as acromioclavicular separation, AC joint separation, AC separation), is a common injury to the acromioclavicular joint.

How do you code subluxation of the acromioclavicular joint?

Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S43.11 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of S43.11 that describes the diagnosis 'subluxation of acromioclavicular joint' in more detail.

What is a acromioclavicular separation?

A shoulder separation injury occurs when trauma damages the ligaments around the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. It's where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the shoulder blade (scapula). If the injury is severe, part of the shoulder blade may separate from the collarbone.

What is a Type 3 acromioclavicular separation?

A shoulder separation is the partial or complete separation of two parts of the shoulder: the collarbone (clavicle) and the end (acromion) of the shoulder blade (scapula). A type III shoulder separation occurs when both the acromioclavicular (AC) and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments are completely torn.

What is a type 5 acromioclavicular separation?

Grade 5—Involves tearing of the joint covering (capsule) and ligaments connecting the shoulder blade (scapula) and collar bone (clavicle), and the end of the collar bone (clavicle) tears through the muscle covering (fascia) above it. Results in a large, permanent bump over the top of the shoulder at the AC joint.

What is an acromioclavicular?

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is formed by the cap of the shoulder (acromion) and the collar bone (clavicle). It is held together by strong ligaments (figure 1). The outer end of the clavicle is held in alignment with the acromion by the acromioclavicular ligaments and the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments.

What is a Grade 2 acromioclavicular joint separation?

Grade 2—Involves tearing of the joint covering (capsule) and stretching (but not tearing) of ligaments connecting the shoulder blade (scapula) and collar bone (clavicle). Frequently results in a small, permanent bump over the top of the shoulder at the AC joint.

What is a Grade 4 AC separation?

A grade 4 AC separation occurs when the clavicle is severely displaced posteriorly. It is defined as “significant” posterior displacement. The grade separation definition does not have any quantifiable distance as it is determined simply by the impression of the clinician.

Does a Grade 5 AC separation require surgery?

Grade 4, 5, and 6 separations are severe injuries with high degree of displacement of the clavicle with respect to the acromion and usually require surgery.

What joint is the acromioclavicular joint?

The acromioclavicular, or AC, joint is a joint in the shoulder where two bones meet. One of these bones is the collarbone, or clavicle. The second bone is actually part of the shoulder blade (scapula), which is the big bone behind the shoulder that also forms part of the shoulder joint.

Which type of joint is acromioclavicular joint?

plane type synovial jointThe acromioclavicular joint is a diarthrodial joint defined by the lateral clavicle articulating with the acromion process as it projects anteriorly off the scapula. The AC joint is a plane type synovial joint, which under normal physiological conditions allows only gliding movement.

What is acromioclavicular and glenohumeral joints?

While the clavicle and acromion do not move a lot in relation to one another, the acromioclavicular joint facilitates raising the arm up over the head. The glenohumeral joint is where the head of the humerus nestles into a shallow socket of the scapula called the glenoid.

Does a Grade 3 shoulder separation require surgery?

Most people do well without surgery. The severe injury (Grade 3) can be treated either nonoperatively or operatively. Non-operative treatment involves immobilisation in a sling for two to three weeks followed by a course of physiotherapy.

What percentage is a Grade 3 AC joint separation?

If the distance between the two bones is between increased between 25 and 100% it is a grade 3 and if it is more than that it is a grade 5. A grade 4 ac separation is one where there is significant posterior movement of the clavicle relative to the acromion.

Does AC joint separation need surgery?

Surgery is the clear choice for highly displaced AC joint separations (Grade 4, 5, and 6), and also for Grade 3 AC separations that demonstrate significant horizontal instability. Deciding on a surgeon is critical to achieving a complication-free and pain-free result.

How do you fix a separated AC joint?

AC joint reconstruction for recurrent shoulder separations involves reconstruction using a tendon graft (called an allograft) with mechanical fixation to further secure the new tissue in the anatomical location of the torn ligaments.

What is the ICd 10 code for acromioclavicular dislocation?

Dislocation of left acromioclavicular joint, greater than 200% displacement, initial encounter 1 S43.132A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 #N#Short description: Dislocation of l acromioclav jt, > 200% displacmnt, init#N#The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S43.132A became effective on October 1, 2020.#N#This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S43.132A - other international versions of ICD-10 S43.132A may differ.

What is the secondary code for Chapter 20?

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.

What causes acromioclavicular separation?

Acromioclavicular separation occurs as a result of a downward force being applied to the superior part of the acromion, either by something striking the top of the acromion or by falling directly on it. The injury is more likely to occur if the shoulder is struck with the hand outstretched.

Why is the clavicle in its general fixed position?

Despite the scapula pulling on the clavicle during impact, the clavicle remains in its general fixed position because of the sternoclavicular joint ligaments.

What is a separated shoulder?

A separated shoulder (also known as acromioclavicular separation, AC joint separation, AC separation), is a common injury to the acromioclavicular joint. This is not to be confused with shoulder dislocation which occurs when the humerus separates from the scapula at the glenohumeral joint.

What is the ICD code for acute care?

Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S43.11 is a non-billable code.

Where is the AC joint located?

The AC joint is located at the distal end of the clavicle, known as the acromial end, and attaches to the acromion of the scapula. Although this is part of the shoulder, a dislocation and a separation are completely different.
