Published in Medical Coding 1 min read

M11.9 ICD-10 is a code used in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) to represent "Other and unspecified disorders of the shoulder joint". This code is used when a patient presents with shoulder pain or dysfunction but the specific cause cannot be determined.

Here are some examples of conditions that might fall under M11.9:

  • Shoulder pain of unknown origin
  • Shoulder stiffness without a clear diagnosis
  • Generalized shoulder discomfort

It is important to note that M11.9 is a broad category and does not provide specific information about the underlying cause of the shoulder problem. A thorough medical evaluation is necessary to determine the specific diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
