956.8 — Injury to multiple nerves of pelvic girdle and lower limb

956.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for injury to multiple nerves of pelvic girdle and lower limb. 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 S74.8X9A (Injury of other nerves at hip and thigh level, unspecified leg, initial encounter), S84.809A (Injury of other nerves at lower leg level, unspecified leg, initial encounter) and S94.8X9A (Injury of other nerves at ankle and foot level, unspecified leg, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
