About ICD-9-CM 824.3
824.3 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for fracture of lateral malleolus, 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 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S82.63XB (Displaced fracture of lateral malleolus of unspecified fibula, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II), S82.63XC (Displaced fracture of lateral malleolus of unspecified fibula, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and S82.66XB (Nondisplaced fracture of lateral malleolus of unspecified fibula, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
