ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
823.42 — Torus fracture, fibula with tibia
About ICD-9-CM 823.42
823.42 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for Torus fracture, 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 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S82.161A (Torus fracture of upper end of right tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture), S82.162A (Torus fracture of upper end of left tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture) and S82.311A (Torus fracture of lower end of right tibia, 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.
