2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S43. 102A: Unspecified dislocation of left acromioclavicular joint, initial encounter.
An acromioclavicular joint separation, or AC separation, is a very frequent injury among physically active people. In this injury the clavicle (collar bone) separates from the scapula (shoulder blade). It is commonly caused by a fall directly on the "point" of the shoulder or a direct blow received in a contact sport.Jun 4, 2015
An acromioclavicular joint separation, or AC joint separation or shoulder separation, occurs when the clavicle separates from the scapula. It is commonly caused by a fall directly on the 'point' of the shoulder or by a direct blow received in a contact sport.
A type III separation involves injury to both the AC joint ligaments the CC ligaments. This results in complete separation between the acromion and clavicle, and treatment for this type is controversial.

A shoulder separation is not the same as a dislocation. In a dislocation, your upper arm bone (the humerus) pulls out of the shoulder joint. Shoulder separations are common, especially in active young adults. Your shoulder blade connects to your upper arm bone and to your collarbone with ligaments.
A separated shoulder is a condition that happens when the ligaments between the collarbone and shoulder blade are torn. Shoulder separations can be caused by direct falls onto the shoulder, car accidents and sports injuries. Most people recover within two to 12 weeks without surgery.Oct 3, 2018
To treat either injury, you should:Ice your shoulder to reduce pain and swelling. ... Use a sling or shoulder immobilizer to prevent further injury until you get medical treatment. ...

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.
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.
The type II acromion is more curved and downward dipping, and the type III acromion is hooked and downward dipping, obstructing the outlet for the supraspinatus tendon.3 Cadaveric studies have shown an increased incidence of rotator cuff tears in persons with type II and type III acromions.2,3.

The acromioclavicular ligament is completely torn, while the coracoclavicular ligaments remain intact. Grade III - A complete separation of the joint. The acromioclavicular ligament, the coracoclavicular ligaments, and the capsule surrounding the joint are torn. Usually, the displacement is obvious on clinical exam.
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.

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.
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.
Despite the scapula pulling on the clavicle during impact, the clavicle remains in its general fixed position because of the sternoclavicular joint ligaments.
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.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S43.11 is a non-billable code.
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.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
