About ICD-9-CM 718.86
718.86 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other joint derangement, not elsewhere classified, lower leg. 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 M23.50 (Chronic instability of knee, unspecified knee) and M23.8X9 (Other internal derangements of unspecified knee). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
