S47.2Crushing injury of left shoulder and upper arm

S47.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of left shoulder and upper arm. It belongs to category S47 (crushing injury of shoulder and upper arm), 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.

Within S47 (crushing injury of shoulder and upper arm), S47.2 is specifically for crushing injury of left shoulder and upper arm. Related codes cover right shoulder and upper arm (S47.1) and unspecified arm (S47.9).

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.

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.
