Complete traumatic MCP amputation of r idx fngr, sequela

This code signifies a complete traumatic detachment of the right index finger at the metacarpophalangeal joint level, indicating that the injury is a long-term consequence or complication of an initial trauma. It describes the absence of the digit due to a past, severe injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the current state of a patient who previously sustained a complete traumatic amputation of their right index finger at the MCP joint. It should be used for follow-up encounters, rehabilitation, or management of ongoing issues related to the amputation, such as phantom limb pain or prosthetic fitting.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic condition resulting from a past amputation.
• Verify the specific finger (index) and laterality (right) are accurately documented.
• Confirm the amputation is complete and occurred at the metacarpophalangeal joint level.
