T86.83Complications of bone graft

T86.83 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complications of bone graft. It belongs to category T86 (complications of transplanted organs and tissue), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T86.8 (complications of other transplanted organs and tissues), T86.83 is specifically for complications of bone graft. Related codes cover complications of lung transplant (T86.81), complications of skin graft (allograft) (autograft) (T86.82), complications of corneal transplant (T86.84), complication of intestine transplant (T86.85) and complications of other transplanted tissue (T86.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T86.830 (rejection), T86.831 (failure), T86.832 (infection), T86.838 (graft) and T86.839 (graft).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of T86.83, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: mechanical complications of bone graft (T84.3-).

Use an additional code to identify other transplant complications, such as: graft-versus-host disease (D89.81-), malignancy associated with organ transplant (C80.2) and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) (D47.Z1).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
