102A for Unspecified dislocation of left acromioclavicular joint, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Grade 1—Involves stretching/spraining of the joint covering (capsule), with no damage to ligaments connecting the shoulder blade (scapula) and collar bone (clavicle). There may be swelling over the joint but the bump is not permanent. Pain typically lasts for 2-4 weeks, but can be easily reaggravated.
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.

A Grade 2 AC Joint Separation results from an incomplete tearing of the acomioclavciular and/or the coracoclavicular ligaments. The joint is incompletely dislocated; the medical term for this is “subluxed”.
Shoulder separation is an injury to the ligament between the shoulder blade and collarbone. Whereas shoulder dislocation occurs when the top of the arm bone loses contact with the socket of the shoulder blade.
The rotator cuff covers the head of the upper arm bone and attaches it to the shoulder blade. The AC (acromioclavicular) joint is formed where a portion of the scapula (acromion) and the clavicle meet and are held together by tough tissues (ligaments) that act like tethers to keep the bones in place.
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.
The medical term for the shoulder socket is glenoid cavity. This ball-and-socket construction allows for circular movement of the arm. Acromioclavicular joint (AC joint). The acromioclavicular joint is located where the clavicle (collarbone) glides along the acromion, located at the top of the shoulder blade.
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.
The acromioclavicular joint, or AC joint, is the bony point on the top of the shoulder. It stabilizes the scapula to the chest, by connecting the acromion on the scapula to the clavicle, or "collarbone". A thick disk of fibrocartilage acts as a shock absorber between the two bones.
Complete healing may take four to six weeks. Type I injuries generally heal well without an increased risk of reinjury.
Grade 1 sprains, for example, typically begin to heal within one to two weeks, with most patients resuming normal activity shortly thereafter. Grade 2 sprains generally take at least four weeks to heal, while grade 3 sprains can take as long as six to eight weeks to heal fully.
Grade 1—Involves stretching/spraining of the joint covering (capsule), with no damage to ligaments connecting the shoulder blade (scapula) and collar bone (clavicle). There may be swelling over the joint but the bump is not permanent. Pain typically lasts for 2-4 weeks, but can be easily reaggravated.
Treatment is typically an arm sling, bed rest, ice and heat therapy, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Most people recover full motion of the shoulder and arm within 6 to 8 weeks, often with the assistance of physiotherapy.

2. The Traditional Grade II, Moderate AC Joint injury would equal "Superior Subluxation of the AC Joint (<100% displacement of the clavicle):
Anatomically, it is the small joint between the lateral/distal end of the Clavicle/Collar Bone and the Acromial process of the Scapula/Shoulder Blade. It is located at the top and front of the shoulder. Females can locate it by putting a finger tip on their bra strap where it crosses their collar bone, then slide laterally towards the shoulder, and you can feel a mildly lumpy or irregular ridge from front to back.
