Complete traumatic MCP amputation of r mid finger, sequela

This code signifies the long-term consequences or complications arising from a complete traumatic amputation of the right middle finger at the metacarpophalangeal joint. This indicates that the entire middle finger, including its connection to the hand, was severed due to an injury, and the patient is now experiencing a condition directly related to that past event.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for a sequela (e.g., phantom limb pain, neuroma, scar contracture, or functional impairment) directly resulting from a complete traumatic amputation of their right middle finger at the MCP joint. It should be used after the initial healing phase of the amputation.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traumatic amputation.
• Verify the laterality (right) and specific digit (middle finger) are accurately documented.
