C-section due to prior shoulder dystocia and erbs palsy

Messages

We had a patient deliver recently via c-section due to a previous vaginal delivery that resulted in shoulder dystocia and erbs palsy. I'm having difficulty finding a code to best describe this patients delivery and why we did the c-section. The patient has no other health issues that would warrant a c-section. Has anyone coded a c-section with this same situation??
