What would be the correct code to use for "Retrolisthesis L3?
 
Look in your ICD-9 book under Spondylolisthesis. Your code will be 756.12 if it is congenital or 738.4 if acquired, degenerative, or traumatic.
 
I received this information from another source. The American Society of Anesthesiology said to use 738.5 since 738.4 is for anterior listhesis whereas retrolisthesis is a posterior slipage.
