About ICD-9-CM 836.69

836.69 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other dislocation of knee, 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 S83.196A (Other dislocation of 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.
