Wiki ICD9 Coding Help for Pelvic Injuries

[DelMarEs]

Need help coding Pubic Symphysis Diastasis and Sacroiliac Joint Widening. They are not technically a fracture so would I assign a sprains and strains ICD9 code? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the pubic symphsis diastasis = 839.69
for the SI joint widening try 724.6 - which is instability of SI joint.
