S47Crushing injury of shoulder and upper arm

S47 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of shoulder and upper arm. It belongs to 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S47.1 (arm), S47.2 (arm) and S47.9 (unspecified arm).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S47, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: crushing injury of elbow (S57.0-).

Use an additional code for all associated injuries.

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