913.6 — Superficial foreign body (splinter) of elbow, forearm, and wrist, without major open wound and without mention of infection

913.6 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for superficial foreign body (splinter) of elbow, forearm, and wrist, without major open wound and without mention of infection. 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 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S50.359A (Superficial foreign body of unspecified elbow, initial encounter), S50.859A (Superficial foreign body of unspecified forearm, initial encounter) and S60.859A (Superficial foreign body of unspecified wrist, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
