79.31 Open reduction of fracture with internal fixation; humerus - ICD-9-CM Vol. 3 Procedure Codes.
A dislocated shoulder happens when your upper arm pops out of your shoulder socket. The shoulder is one of the easiest joints to dislocate because the ball joint of your upper arm sits in a very shallow socket.
In an anterior dislocation, the arm is an abducted and externally rotated position. In the externally rotated position, the posterosuperior aspect of the humeral head abuts and drives through the anteroinferior aspect of the glenoid rim. This can damage the humeral head, glenoid labrum, or both.
Anterior shoulder in obstetrics refers to that shoulder of the fetus that faces the pubic symphysis of the mother during delivery. Depending upon the original position of the fetus, either the left or the right shoulder can be the anterior shoulder.
S49. 92XA - Unspecified injury of left shoulder and upper arm [initial encounter] | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10-CM Code for Superior glenoid labrum lesion of left shoulder, initial encounter S43. 432A.
ICD-10-CM Code for Other instability, left shoulder M25. 312.
Unspecified subluxation and dislocation of shoulder joint 1 S43.00 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S43.00 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S43.00 - other international versions of ICD-10 S43.00 may differ.

Complications of a joint dislocation may include: 1 Tearing of the muscles, ligaments and tendons that reinforce the injured joint 2 Nerve or blood vessel damage in or around your joint 3 Susceptibility to re-injury if you have a severe dislocation or repeated dislocations 4 Development of arthritis in the affected joint as you age
For example, nursemaid’s elbow is a partial dislocation common in toddlers. The main symptom is refusal to use the arm. Nursemaid’s elbow can be easily treated in a doctor’s office. A dislocated joint may be accompanied by numbness or tingling at the joint or beyond it. Additional signs and symptoms may include.
Dislocations may further be defined by positioning: Anterior – The end of the bone is displaced to the anterior, medial, and slightly inferior to its normal anatomic position. Posterior – The end of the bone is displaced posterior to the joint and its normal anatomic position.
