Part traum amp at lev betw elbow and wrist, right arm, init

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the right arm, occurring specifically between the elbow and the wrist. This means a portion of the forearm or hand has been severed due to an injury, but the amputation is not complete.

Use this code for the initial encounter when a patient presents with a traumatic injury resulting in the partial loss of their right arm distal to the elbow but proximal to the wrist. This applies to situations like industrial accidents, machinery injuries, or severe lacerations leading to partial detachment of the limb segment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the exact location between the elbow and wrist.
• Verify laterality (right arm) is accurately documented.
• Remember the "A" indicates an initial encounter for this injury. Subsequent care would use different seventh characters.
