I know that we use 896.2 for traumatic bilateral transtibial patients.

I know that we use V49.75 for non traumatic (usually avascular) unilateral
transtibial patients.

I am trying to find out if there is a specific diagnosis code for
avascular, non-traumatic bilateral transtibial amputation.

Thanks,

Gregory M. Straub, CPO.
