If you’ve determined that the problem is an injury, you will look to the S codes; if it is a chronic or recurrent problem, you will look to the M codes.
First, under ICD-10-CM descriptions, an acute injury to the rotator cuff muscle or tendon is described as a “strain”, under the subcategory S46,01- , not as a “sprain.” Although there is also an ICD code for sprain of the rotator cuff capsule, S43.42-, that is not the structure that typically injured.

Z codes also apply to post-op care when the condition that precipitated the surgery no longer exists —but the patient still requires therapeutic care to return to a healthy level of function. In situations like these, ICD-10 provides a few coding options, including:
For example, if you were treating a patient who had a total knee replacement, you would want to submit Z47.1, Aftercare following joint replacement surgery, as well as Z96.651 (to indicate that the joint replaced was the knee). Taking this one step further, let’s say the patient was receiving treatment for gait abnormality following a total knee replacement of the right knee due to osteoarthritis in that knee. Let’s also assume that, as a result of the surgery, the patient is no longer suffering from osteoarthritis. The appropriate codes for this scenario, according to this presentation, would be:
ICD-10 introduced the seventh character to streamline the way providers denote different encounter types—namely, those in volving active treatment versus those involving subsequent care. However, not all ICD-10 diagnosis codes include the option to add a seventh character. For example, most of the codes contained in chapter 13 of the tabular list (a.k.a. the musculoskeletal chapter) do not allow for seventh characters. And that makes sense considering that most of those codes represent conditions—including bone, joint, or muscle conditions that are recurrent or resulting from a healed injury—for which therapy treatment does progress in the same way it does for acute injuries.
You should add any comorbidities that may impact the rehab episode of care. You should not include osteoarthritis in the diagnostic set unless it affects other joints that will affect the episode." I hope that's helpful!
In situations where it’s appropriate to use Z codes, “aftercare codes are generally the first listed diagnosis,” Gray writes. However, that doesn’t mean the Z code should be the only diagnosis code listed for that patient.
In situations where it’s appropriate to use Z codes, aftercare codes may be listed as the primary diagnosis—but that doesn’t mean the Z code should be the only diagnosis code listed for that patient. In fact, you should submit secondary codes—including other Z codes—when they can help you fully describe the patient’s situation in the most specific way possible.
