Complete traumatic metacarpophalangeal amputation of right index finger, subsequent encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies the complete traumatic loss of the right index finger at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint due to an injury. It indicates that the patient is in the healing or recovery phase following the initial amputation.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for follow-up visits related to the healing, management of complications, or rehabilitation after a traumatic right index finger MCP amputation. This includes wound care, physical therapy, or prosthetic fitting appointments.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "complete" amputation and the exact digit (right index finger) and joint (MCP).
The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing phase.
Do not use for the initial injury encounter; a different seventh character would be required.
