ICD-9 Tree - Selecting by description

In this example we have located an open elbow dislocation by description. After entering the word "elbow", we selected the Find Classes button. ICD-9 Tree created a list of elbow conditions. We then selected the Dislocated, Open choice from the list. ICD-9 Tree then located the class and opened the list of diagnoses, highlighting the class. The Copy Description button is always available. The Copy Code and Copy All buttons are only available when a valid code is selected. In this case we have selected a class. Therefore, only the Copy Description button is available.  To select a code for copying, we would move the cursor to the appropriate elbow condition. Possibly we may wish to examine another class first; i.e., is 9271 appropriate for this condition instead? ICD-9 Tree places it all close at hand. Why code the old way? The tree makes it all so clear. ICD-9 Tree. ICD-9 Tree can also created a list of matching codes, however the class search usually yields a result list which can be navigated more intuitively, with less chance of overlooking the correct code.
