Partial traumatic amputation of right breast, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence of an injury where a portion of the right breast was traumatically amputated. It indicates that the initial acute injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience issues or conditions directly related to the partial loss of breast tissue due to trauma.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a traumatic partial amputation of the right breast. This applies to scenarios such as reconstructive surgery, management of chronic pain, scar tissue complications, or psychological sequelae directly resulting from the original traumatic event.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the "right" breast.
• Confirm the encounter is for a sequela, meaning the initial injury has resolved and the current condition is a residual effect.
• Do not use for the initial acute injury; a different code would be appropriate for the initial traumatic event.
