Partial traumatic amputation at elbow level, right arm, init

This code signifies a traumatic injury to the right arm where a portion of the limb at the elbow level has been severed, but not completely detached. This partial amputation involves significant tissue damage, including bone, muscle, and vascular structures, but some connection to the body remains.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with an incomplete traumatic amputation of their right arm specifically at the elbow joint. This includes scenarios where the limb is still partially attached by skin, muscle, or other soft tissues following an accident.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the "right arm" at the "elbow level."
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of this specific injury.
• Do not use for complete amputations or avulsions where the limb is fully detached.
