S43: Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of shoulder girdle

Conditions within the range S43 pertain to dislocations, sprains, and strains affecting the joints and ligaments within the shoulder girdle. These injuries often result from sudden impacts or awkward movements that put undue stress on the shoulder joint, such as might occur during athletic activities or falls. Symptoms common to these conditions include pain in the shoulder region, difficulty moving the shoulder, and in severe cases, a visible deformity where the joint appears out of place. Strains and sprains involve damage to the muscles, tendons, or ligaments and tend to heal over time with proper rest and care, though they may cause lingering pain or weakness. Dislocations, where a bone slips out of its joint, are more serious injuries that often require medical intervention to repair and can result in long-term joint instability or recurring dislocations.
