Shoulder dystocia is a birth injury (also called birth trauma) that happens when one or both of a baby's shoulders get stuck inside the mother's pelvis during labor and birth. In most cases of shoulder dystocia, babies are born safely. But it can cause serious problems for both mom and baby.

Z38. 00 Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginally - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
A neonate is also called a newborn. The neonatal period is the first 4 weeks of a child's life.
Labor dystocia refers to abnormally slow or protracted labor. It may be diagnosed in the first stage of labor (onset of contractions until complete cervical dilation) or the second stage of labor (complete cervical dilation until delivery).
Elevate both knees to the chest (McRoberts maneuver) as the first therapeutic maneuver during shoulder dystocia. Consider posterior arm delivery if McRoberts maneuver and suprapubic pressure are unsuccessful. Document precisely the head-to-body delivery interval and maneuvers performed after every shoulder dystocia.
McRoberts' manoeuvre consists of sharp flexion of patients' hips against the abdomen, and is effective in 40–80% of patients when used as either the primary or the sole position. It is used as the first step towards an emergent vaginal delivery after diagnosis of impacted fetal shoulders.

The notes at the beginning of Chapter 15 Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium indicate that in addition to the Chapter 15 codes, the coder should assign a code from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known. The guidelines provide further direction, ...
For delivery admissions, the principal diagnosis is the condition that prompted the admission. If multiple conditions prompted the admission, the condition most related to the delivery is the principal diagnosis (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.b.4).
It is appropriate to assign an outcome of delivery code for admissions when elective termination of pregnancy results in a liveborn fetus ( ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.q) and code Z37.0 Single live birth , is the only outcome of delivery code for use with O80 (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.n.3).
Code O80 Encounter for full term uncomplicated delivery is assigned as the principal diagnosis for delivery admissions that meet the following criteria (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.n):
Code O80 Encounter for full term uncomplicated delivery is assigned as the principal diagnosis for delivery admissions that meet the following criteria (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.n): 1 Vaginal delivery at full term 2 No accompanying instrumentation (episiotomy is ok) 3 Single, healthy infant 4 No unresolved antepartum complications 5 No complications of labor or delivery 6 No postpartum complications during the delivery admission
An assisted vaginal delivery is one that is accomplished with the assistance of instrumentation such as forceps or vacuum extraction. Just like a spontaneous delivery, this procedure is reported with a code from the Obstetrics section of ICD-10-PCS because it is a procedure performed on the fetus, which is considered a product of conception (see ICD-10-PCS coding guideline C1).
A spontaneous delivery is a vaginal delivery that is manually assisted with no use of instrumentation such as forceps or vacuum extraction. In ICD-10-PCS, the code for this procedure will be the same every time, 10E0XZZ. Looking at the table below you can see that there is only one option for the value for each character in the code.
Obstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks:
If a delivery occurs during an admission and there is an “in childbirth” option for the obstetric complication being coded, the “in childbirth” code should be assigned. If the complication occurs after delivery , the “in puerperium” code should be assigned if available.
The obstetrics section is one of 16 sections in ICD-10-PCS and is categorized as one of the nine medical and surgical-related procedure sections. Similar to other ICD-10-PCS codes, obstetric procedure codes are seven characters in length with each of the seven characters representing an aspect of the procedure. The diagram above illustrates the seven characters of a code from the obstetrics section.
Because certain obstetric conditions or complications occur during certain trimesters, not all conditions include codes for all three trimesters.
Similar to ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM obstetric codes in chapter 15 have sequencing priority over codes from other chapters. Additional codes from other chapters may be used in addition to chapter 15 codes to further specify conditions.
Outcome of delivery codes (Z37.0–Z37.9) are intended for use as an additional code to identify the outcome of delivery on the mother’s records. These codes are not to be used on subsequent records or on the newborn record.
Codes from this category also require either a fifth or sixth character specifying the trimester. Code O30.0, Twin pregnancy, is further classified by whether the twin pregnancy is monoamniotic/monochorionic, conjoined twins, other twin pregnancy, or unspecified twin pregnancy.
During the late neonatal period, only 4.7% of the clavicle fractures were diagnosed, as well as three femur fractures, 26 other long bone fractures and 14 other or unspecified fractures. Few were diagnosed beyond the neonatal period: 1.1% of the clavicle fractures, eight skull fractures and nine other long bone fractures (Table 2 ).
The overall fracture incidence was 2.9 per 1000 live birth (N = 5336); 92.6% had P-codes and 7.4% (S-codes). Some birth-related fractures were diagnosed beyond the neonatal period. Other neonatal fractures could have been birth-related. Clavicle fracture (88.8%) was associated with adverse maternal and infant anthropometrics and birth complications. The few neonates with rib fractures all had concomitant clavicle fracture. For skull fractures, a minor part was birth-related and most were associated with accidents. Half of the long bone fractures were associated with accidents. Birth-related femur fractures were associated with bone fragility risk factors. Five infants with abuse diagnoses had fractures: skull (4), long bone (2) and rib (1).
Table 3. Neonatal fractures (only S-codes for fractures, not cases with P-codes [birth-related fractures]) among infants born in Sweden 1997-2014 by age 1-7 and 8-28 days, fall and transport accidents
Rib fractures, also multiple, are rarely reported in association with birth, only as case reports, but may have the same origin as clavicle fractures, caused by the shoulder compression forces to the chest, 3, 4 or in association with bone fragility. 5 International Classification of Diseases—10th version (ICD-10) does not provide a special code for birth-related rib fractures.
Humerus fractures may result as a direct trauma in delivering arm in case of shoulder dystocia. However, such fractures are rarely reported. Basha et al 6 reported only two cases in a total of nearly 35 000 births, in conjunction with spontaneous vaginal birth and caesarean section with cephalic presentation.
Birth- related and other neonatal fractures are rarely diagnosed, diagnosis can be delayed, and underestimates cannot be excluded.
