Partial traumatic MCP amputation of r mid finger, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a partial traumatic amputation of the right middle finger at the metacarpophalangeal joint. This includes conditions like chronic pain, stiffness, nerve damage, or functional limitations that persist after the initial healing of the injury.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for residual problems directly attributable to a past partial traumatic amputation of their right middle finger at the MCP joint. This could include follow-up appointments for rehabilitation, pain management, or assessment of permanent disability. It should be used after the initial acute injury has healed.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the current encounter, if applicable.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous amputation.
• Do not use for the initial acute injury; this code is specifically for sequelae.
