Wiki ICD 10 aquired absence of heel - There is a code for absence

[solocoder]

There is a code for absence of toes, and one for absence of foot... but what about partial foot? The doctor is ordering a brace for the foot, so absence of foot doesn't seem to make sense.

Look under ICD-10 CM -Z89.4 Acquired absence of toe(s), foot, and ankle. If the condition was acquired. What do you mean by partial foot? Was the surgery a transmetatarsal amputation? After researching it, it looks like the code can be from the same Z89.4 depending on RT or LT.

What code would you recommend for an acquired absence of transmetatarsal?

Same situation. I'm afraid we are stuck with Z89.9 "acquired absence of limb, unspecified."
