Wiki Nontraumatic SLAP

What is everyone using for their ICD-10 diagnosis of a nontraumatic SLAP tear?

Non traumatic SLAP tear

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Have you looked at M75.8_, Other shoulder lesions?

I did look at M75.8_ but was still unsure since everything I am finding and reading continues to direct me to the injury code S43.43. whether it is traumatic or non-traumatic. But it does not make sense you would use the same code for both.

https://www.codeitrightonline.com/ciri/common-shoulder-disorders.html I just found this article today. Perhaps this will help as I was looking for a degenerative SLAP tear code today. Looks like they are saying to use the S code for degenerative as well.
