About ICD-9-CM 906.1
906.1 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for late effect of open wound of extremities without mention of tendon injury. 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 11 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S41.009S (Unspecified open wound of unspecified shoulder, sequela), S41.109S (Unspecified open wound of unspecified upper arm, sequela) and S51.009S (Unspecified open wound of unspecified elbow, sequela). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
