838.19 — Open dislocation of foot, other

838.19 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open dislocation of foot, other. 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 S91.109A (Unspecified open wound of unspecified toe(s) without damage to nail, initial encounter) and S93.336A (Other dislocation of unspecified foot, 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.
