Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with S88 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- traumatic amputation of ankle and foot (S98.-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S88.
- An amputation not identified as partial or complete should be coded to complete
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S88 to fully describe the condition. S88 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S88, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S88 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S80-S89
The conditions below are not part of S88, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S88 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S88 existed?
S88 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
