What This Code Means

A permanent tightening or shortening of muscles and tissues in the left shoulder that limits the joint's range of motion.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure documentation specifically indicates left shoulder involvement to differentiate from right-sided contracture
  • •Consider if contracture resulted from trauma, immobilization, or other musculoskeletal conditions
