What ICD10 would you assign to the following:
Toe, left second toe proximal bone, amputation:
Acute osteomyelitis
Skin with focal ulceration and inflammation extending into deep subcutaneous soft tissue
Skin and bone resection margins appear viable
The gross does state: The specimen is sectioned to show hemorrhagic and necrotic soft tissue surounding the focally hemorrhagic bone. Any help appreciated
