Replantation of Toe: I have found the replantation of digits (20816-20827) of the upper limb and foot (20838), but not of the toe.

Could someone help me out?? this is a tough one....

When you look at the crosscodes for 20822- Replantation, digit, excluding thumb (includes distal tip to sublimis tendon insertion), complete amputation it does show ICD-9 code 895.0 or 895.1 so you can consider a toe a digit also. Any other suggestions?

In the description of Coding Companion for Orthopeadics it states for 1 of the 4 "fingers" Also under the catagory of upper limb...maybe use a dump code with this as comparison? That is all I can think of
