Partial traumatic amputation of penis, initial encounter

This code signifies a traumatic injury where a portion of the penis has been severed or detached due to an external force, but not completely. It indicates that the patient is presenting for the initial treatment of this specific injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting to the emergency department or for their first physician visit following a traumatic event that resulted in a partial loss of penile tissue. Examples include injuries from machinery, animal bites, or other accidents where the penis is not fully amputated.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the "initial encounter" for treatment.
• Look for associated external cause codes (V, W, X, Y codes) to provide a complete picture of the injury's circumstances.
• Distinguish from complete traumatic amputation or non-traumatic conditions affecting the penis.
