Part traum amp at level betw elbow and wrist, left arm, subs

Partial traumatic amputation at level between elbow and wrist, left arm, subsequent encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a partial traumatic loss of the left arm, specifically occurring between the elbow and the wrist joint. This means a portion of the forearm or hand was traumatically severed, but not the entire limb at that level. This particular code is for use during a subsequent encounter for this injury.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of complications related to a previously sustained partial traumatic amputation of the left arm between the elbow and wrist. This includes scenarios such as wound care, prosthetic fitting, or addressing infection after the initial injury has been treated.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the exact location between the elbow and wrist.
Verify that the encounter is indeed "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
Always confirm laterality (left arm) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
