What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
- FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Fracture of subcondylar process of mandible, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- FY2017 Removed from the code set

How CDC's index refers to this code
Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
- Fracture, traumatic > jaw
- Fracture, traumatic > malar bone
- Fracture, traumatic > jaw > upper
- Fracture, traumatic > ramus > mandible
- Fracture, traumatic > maxilla, maxillary > inferior
- Fracture, traumatic > mandible > subcondylar process
