Type II acromion reply
See website: www.nehealthbook.com
Basically there are 3 types of acromions. Type I - normal acromion,
Type II - a variation of angle of the acromion with which you were born with. Type III - acromion is curved down impinging the supraspinatous tendon.
I code Type II acromion with 759.89(indicating congenital anomoly) and 719.81 (narrowing space in the ACJ area).
