823.22 — Closed fracture of shaft of fibula with tibia
About ICD-9-CM 823.22
823.22 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for closed fracture of shaft 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 S82.201A (Unspecified fracture of shaft of right tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture), S82.202A (Unspecified fracture of shaft of left tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture) and S82.401A (Unspecified fracture of shaft of right fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture). 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.
