About ICD-9-CM 78.37

78.37 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for limb lengthening procedures, tibia and fibula. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 60 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0Q8G0ZZ (Division of Right Tibia, Open Approach), 0Q8G3ZZ (Division of Right Tibia, Percutaneous Approach) and 0Q8G4ZZ (Division of Right Tibia, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
