S43.08Other subluxation and dislocation of shoulder joint

S43.08 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other subluxation and dislocation of shoulder joint. It belongs to category S43 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of shoulder girdle), block S40-S49 (injuries to the shoulder and upper arm) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S43.0, choose S43.08 (Other subluxation and dislocation of shoulder joint) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified subluxation and dislocation of shoulder joint (S43.00), anterior subluxation and dislocation of humerus (S43.01), posterior subluxation and dislocation of humerus (S43.02) and inferior subluxation and dislocation of humerus (S43.03).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
