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”.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM M75.1 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M75.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 M75.1 may differ. Applicable To. Rotator cuff syndrome. Supraspinatus tear or rupture, not specified as traumatic.
Merge the Traditional Orthopedic Terminology with the new/different codes from ICD-10. 1. The Traditional Grade I, Mild AC Joint injury would equal "Sprain" of the AC Joint: S43.51X _ for the right, and S43.52X _ for the left. 2.
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.
149: 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.
A grade 2 injury will involve complete rupture of the acromioclavicular ligament and partial tear of the coracoclavicular ligament. This tearing allows the clavicle to move upward, and as a result, the bump on the shoulder is more pronounced. Pain is more severe and movement of the shoulder is restricted.
An AC joint separation involves damage to the ligaments supporting the AC joint, either sprains or tears, commonly caused by a fall on the shoulder. This can result in pain, shoulder deformity, and loss of forelimb mobility.
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.
Type II — Type II injuries usually cause greater pain and swelling than type I injuries. Initial treatment may include rest, ice, pain medication, and three to seven days of shoulder immobilization in a sling. Range-of-motion exercises and stretching exercises can be started when tolerable.
What is a type II Acromion? Acromion is a lateral process out of the shoulder blade of the shoulder joint. On x-rays, it has been classified into four types. Type II is the most common type and is gradual curve along the head of the shoulder. Type II acromion may occasionally cause impingement of the shoulder joint.
The acromioclavicular (AC) joint — along with ligaments — connects your collarbone and shoulder blade. An injury to to the AC joint is a shoulder separation.
A mild shoulder separation involves a sprain of the AC ligaments that does not move the collarbone and looks normal on X-rays. A more serious injury tears the AC ligaments and sprains or slightly tears the coracoclavicular (CC) ligament, putting the collarbone out of alignment to some extent with a smaller bump.
Return to activities — After a type II AC injury, most people are able to return to full activities when full range of motion and strength are regained, usually after two to four weeks. Gradually, add back activities as tolerated by pain or soreness. Complete healing generally requires several more weeks.
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.
A shoulder separation is classified according to how severely these ligaments are injured: In a type I injury, the AC ligament is partially torn, but the CC ligament is not injured. In a type II injury, the AC ligament is completely torn, and the CC ligament is either not injured or partially torn.
An AC Joint Subluxation is a partial dislocation, meaning that the clavicle goes partially out of joint, with part of the clavicle still touching the acromion. An AC Joint Subluxation looks like a small bump on top of the shoulder. The majority of people with AC Joint injuries can be treated without surgery.
However, any direct blunt force can cause an AC joint separation if severe enough. The initial symptoms are very severe pain, localized swelling and the notable presence of a “bump” on the shoulder.

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”. Comparing the injured side to the normal side one can see an asymmetry when examining the space between the clavicle and coracoid processs (coracoclavicular interval). If the increase in the interval is less than a 25% change then the injury is considered to be a grade 2 separation. As with a grade 1 injury the initial treatment is non-surgical. Although the resulting deformity is barely noticeable this change is permanent. However, in most cases local symptoms will resolve with physical therapy and rest. In some cases the permanent deformity of the joint will cause ongoing symptoms requiring surgical treatment, however.

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.
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.
Despite the scapula pulling on the clavicle during impact, the clavicle remains in its general fixed position because of the sternoclavicular joint ligaments.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S43.11 is a non-billable code.
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.
