ICD-10-PCS Code For Left Shoulder: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0MS2 includes procedures performed to reposition bursae and ligaments in the left shoulder. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when soft-tissue repositioning of the left shoulder bursa and ligaments is performed to restore normal anatomical positioning. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0MS2 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Left Shoulder Bursa And Ligament Reposition Procedure Overview

This code group includes inpatient procedures that reposition all or a portion of the left shoulder bursa and ligaments to their normal or other suitable location. These procedures target the bursae and ligaments of the left shoulder and involve manipulating soft tissues to restore anatomical alignment and function. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these reposition procedures supports correct inpatient case mix assignment and appropriate reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an inpatient procedure involves manipulating or moving the left shoulder bursa or ligaments to correct displacement and restore anatomical alignment. These codes apply when the primary intent of the procedure is repositioning rather than repair, removal, or replacement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged woman presents after a fall onto an outstretched hand with persistent shoulder pain, limited range of motion, and imaging demonstrating a displaced subacromial bursa and torn superior glenohumeral ligament causing mechanical impingement. Conservative measures fail and inpatient surgical management is planned to restore normal anatomical position of the left shoulder soft tissues. An open repositioning procedure is chosen to directly visualize and mobilize the displaced bursa and ligament and ensure stable anatomic relocation. Typical codes: 0MS20ZZ
A patient with chronic shoulder instability and recurrent impingement symptoms refractory to physical therapy is scheduled for operative correction. Intraoperative assessment finds adhesions and malposition of the left subacromial bursa and portions of the rotator interval ligaments contributing to pain and restricted motion, and the surgeon performs minimally invasive repositioning of these soft tissues to restore normal alignment and improve function. The percutaneous endoscopic approach allows targeted repositioning with less soft-tissue disruption during an elective inpatient admission. Typical codes: 0MS24ZZ
A patient who previously underwent left shoulder surgery presents with persistent catching and reduced abduction; imaging and diagnostic arthroscopy identify postoperative displacement and scarring of the left shoulder bursa and ligamentous tissue causing recurrent mechanical symptoms. During the admission, the surgical team performs repositioning of the involved bursa and ligaments to correct the postoperative malposition and relieve impingement. Because prior surgery altered local anatomy but direct correction is required, an open repositioning approach is performed. Typical codes: 0MS20ZZ
