806.71 — Open fracture of sacrum and coccyx with complete cauda equina lesion
About ICD-9-CM 806.71
806.71 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open fracture of sacrum and coccyx with complete cauda equina lesion. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S32.10XB (Unspecified fracture of sacrum, initial encounter for open fracture), S32.2XXB (Fracture of coccyx, initial encounter for open fracture) and S34.3XXA (Injury of cauda equina, initial encounter). 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.
