Partial traumatic amputation at r shoulder jt, sequela

This code signifies a previous, incomplete traumatic detachment of the right arm at the shoulder joint. It indicates that some tissue connection remains, but the amputation was due to an injury, and the patient is now experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect from that event.

Use this code when documenting the long-term effects or complications arising from a partial traumatic amputation of the right shoulder. This is appropriate for follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or when managing chronic issues directly attributable to the original injury.

• Requires a seventh character "S" to indicate sequela, meaning the code is for the late effects of the injury.
• Do not use for initial encounters or active treatment of the acute injury; those would use an "A" or "D" seventh character.
• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the current condition or complication being treated.
