S43.005A is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified dislocation of left shoulder joint, initial encounter. The code S43.005A is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code S43.005A might also be used to specify conditions or terms like closed left shoulder dislocation or closed traumatic dislocation of glenohumeral joint.#N#S43.005A is an initial encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used while the patient is receiving active treatment for a condition like unspecified dislocation of left shoulder joint. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines an "initial encounter" doesn't necessarily means "initial visit". The 7th character should be used when the patient is undergoing active treatment regardless if new or different providers saw the patient over the course of a treatment. The appropriate 7th character codes should also be used even if the patient delayed seeking treatment for a condition.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like S43.005A are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
A shoulder dislocation is an injury that happens when the ball pops out of your socket. A dislocation may be partial, where the ball is only partially out of the socket. It can also be a full dislocation, where the ball is completely out of the socket.
You will do exercises to improve your range of motion and strengthen your muscles. You may need surgery if you injure the tissues or nerves around the shoulder or if you get repeated dislocations. A dislocation can make your shoulder unstable. When that happens, it takes less force to dislocate it.
Your shoulder joint is made up of three bones: your collarbone, your shoulder blade, and your upper arm bone. The top of your upper arm bone is shaped like a ball. This ball fits into a cuplike socket in your shoulder blade. A shoulder dislocation is an injury that happens when the ball pops out of your socket.
The treatment for dislocated shoulder usually involves three steps: The first step is a closed reduction, a procedure in which your health care provider puts the ball of your upper arm back into the socket. You may first get medicine to relieve the pain and relax your shoulder muscles.
Once the joint is back in place, the severe pain should end. The second step is wearing a sling or other device to keep your shoulder in place. You will wear it for a few days to several weeks.
Swelling and bruising of your shoulder or upper arm. Numbness and/or weakness in your arm, neck, hand, or fingers. Trouble moving your arm. Your arm seems to be out of place. Muscle spasms in your shoulder. If you are having these symptoms, get medical treatment right away.
