About S43.39
S43.39 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for subluxation and dislocation of other parts of shoulder girdle. 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 S43.3, choose S43.39 (other parts of shoulder girdle) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified parts of shoulder girdle (S43.30) and scapula (S43.31).
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.
