832.12 — Open posterior dislocation of elbow

832.12 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open posterior dislocation of elbow. 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 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S51.009A (Unspecified open wound of unspecified elbow, initial encounter) and S53.026A (Posterior dislocation of unspecified radial head, 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.
