Partial traumatic MCP amputation of left middle finger, init

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the left middle finger at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint level. This means a portion of the finger, specifically at the joint connecting the finger to the hand, has been severed due to an injury, but not the entire finger.

Use this code for a patient presenting for initial treatment of a traumatic injury resulting in the partial loss of their left middle finger at the MCP joint. This would include scenarios such as an industrial accident or a crush injury where the finger is not completely detached.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "partial" amputation and the exact digit (middle finger) and side (left).
• Verify the amputation occurred at the metacarpophalangeal joint level.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.
