      Z89.431 -Acquired absence of right foot
      Z89.432 -Acquired absence of left foot
      ICD-9
      V49.7 Lower limb amputation status
      V49.70 Unspecified level
      V49.71 Great toe
      V49.72 Other toe(s)
      V49.73 Foot
      V49.74 Ankle -Disarticulation of ankle
      V49.75 Below knee
      V49.76 Above knee -Disarticulation of knee
      V49.77 Hip -Disarticulation of hip
