ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
905.2 — Late effect of fracture of upper extremities
About ICD-9-CM 905.2
905.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for late effect of fracture of upper extremities. 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 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as M84.429S (Pathological fracture, unspecified humerus, sequela), M84.439S (Pathological fracture, unspecified ulna and radius, sequela) and S42.209S (Unspecified fracture of upper end of unspecified humerus, sequela). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
