828.1 — Open multiple fractures involving both lower limbs, lower with upper limb, and lower limb(s) with rib(s) and sternum

828.1 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open multiple fractures involving both lower limbs, lower with upper limb, and lower limb(s) with rib(s) and sternum. 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 12 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S22.20XB (Unspecified fracture of sternum, initial encounter for open fracture), S22.49XB (Multiple fractures of ribs, unspecified side, initial encounter for open fracture) and S42.90XB (Fracture of unspecified shoulder girdle, part unspecified, initial encounter for open 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.
