ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
823.12 — Open fracture of upper end of fibula with tibia
About ICD-9-CM 823.12
823.12 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open fracture of upper end of fibula with tibia. 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 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S82.101B (Unspecified fracture of upper end of right tibia, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II), S82.102B (Unspecified fracture of upper end of left tibia, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II) and S82.831B (Other fracture of upper and lower end of right fibula, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II). 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.
