For degerative shoulder labrum tears I use M24.11_.

 

[sxcoder1]

SLAP tears are S43.43_ even if degenerative. I use S43.49_ for anterior or posterior labral tears.

Thanks for the input. I did not realize there were M codes available.

Peace

I wouldn't use the SLAP lesion code (S43.43__) unless the physician specifically states that lesion.

I also use M24.11_ for degenerative labral tears or fraying type tears of the labrum

if not specified as degenerative or a SLAP i would use S43.49__ for labral tears
