812.51 — Open supracondylar fracture of humerus
About ICD-9-CM 812.51
812.51 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open supracondylar fracture of humerus. 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 S42.413B (Displaced simple supracondylar fracture without intercondylar fracture of unspecified humerus, initial encounter for open fracture) and S42.416B (Nondisplaced simple supracondylar fracture without intercondylar fracture of unspecified humerus, initial encounter for open fracture). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
