Partial traum amp at level betw r shldr and elbow, sequela

This code signifies a past traumatic event resulting in the partial loss of the right upper limb, specifically between the shoulder and elbow joints. The amputation is not complete, meaning some portion of the limb distal to the shoulder but proximal to the elbow remains. This code is used to indicate a sequela, meaning the long-term effects or complications of the initial injury.

Apply this code when documenting the current status of a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of the right upper arm, and the current encounter is for treatment or evaluation of a condition directly related to this old injury. Examples include phantom limb pain, stump complications, or fitting/adjustment of a prosthesis. Do not use for the initial injury.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., phantom limb pain, infection of stump).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the amputation is partial and located between the shoulder and elbow.
• This code is for the right side only; use laterality-specific codes for the left side or unspecified.
