Partial traumatic MCP amputation of r mid finger, init

This code signifies a traumatic injury involving the partial amputation of the right middle finger at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint level. This means a portion of the finger, including the joint, has been severed due to an external force, but not the entire digit. The injury is acute and represents the initial presentation for treatment.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a fresh, traumatically induced partial loss of their right middle finger at the MCP joint. This includes scenarios such as crush injuries, avulsions, or lacerations resulting in incomplete severance of the digit at this specific joint. It is used for the initial encounter where the injury is first diagnosed and treated.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the exact digit (middle finger) and side (right).
• Verify the amputation level is explicitly stated as "metacarpophalangeal" to differentiate from other joint levels.
• Confirm this is the patient's first time seeking treatment for this specific injury to justify the "A" (initial encounter) seventh character.
