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.
Inferior Dislocations of the Distal Clavicle and Posterior Dislocations of the Distal Clavicle at the AC Joint are extremely rare, usually resulting from severe trauma. Because these are Acute Injury (S) Codes, they require a 7th character (A, D, or S).
An AC joint separation is the medical term for what, in layperson's language, is usually called a shoulder separation. AC stands for acromioclavicular joint, which is the joint connecting the shoulder blade to the clavicle or collarbone rather than the humerus or upper arm bone.
The most common cause of an AC joint separation is falling on the shoulder (Fig. 3). As the shoulder strikes the ground, the force from the fall pushes the scapula down. The collarbone cannot move enough to follow the motion of the scapula.
Grade III- The most severe shoulder separation. This completely tears both the AC and CC ligaments and puts the AC joint noticeably out of position, with a larger bump.
5: Sprain of acromioclavicular joint.
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.
The acromioclavicular joint is a diarthrodial joint defined by the lateral clavicle articulating with the acromion process as it projects anteriorly off the scapula. The AC joint is a plane type synovial joint, which under normal physiological conditions allows only gliding movement.
A shoulder separation is the partial or complete separation of two parts of the shoulder: the collarbone (clavicle) and the end (acromion) of the shoulder blade (scapula). A type III shoulder separation occurs when both the acromioclavicular (AC) and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments are completely torn.
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 3 injury involves the complete rupture of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments. The bump visible in a grade 2 tear is even more pronounced in a grade 3 injury due to complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint. Return to play – dependent on management (e.g. surgery).

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is formed by the cap of the shoulder (acromion) and the collar bone (clavicle). It is held together by strong ligaments (figure 1). The outer end of the clavicle is held in alignment with the acromion by the acromioclavicular ligaments and the coracoclavicular (CC) 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.
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.
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.
