About ICD-9-CM 897.1
897.1 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for traumatic amputation of leg(s) (complete) (partial), unilateral, below knee, complicated. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S88.119A (Complete traumatic amputation at level between knee and ankle, unspecified lower leg, initial encounter) and S88.129A (Partial traumatic amputation at level between knee and ankle, unspecified lower leg, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
