What This Code Means

A disorder affecting the tissue lining the joints (synovium) or tendons in the shoulder area that doesn't fit into other specific categories.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only when the specific type of synovial or tendon disorder cannot be identified; review documentation for more specific diagnoses
• •Verify laterality is truly unspecified; if shoulder side is documented, use a more specific lateralized code instead
