ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
836.61 — Anterior dislocation of tibia, proximal end, open
About ICD-9-CM 836.61
836.61 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for anterior dislocation of tibia, proximal end, open. 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 S81.009A (Unspecified open wound, unspecified knee, initial encounter) and S83.116A (Anterior dislocation of proximal end of tibia, unspecified knee, 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.
