Complete traumatic amp of left hand at wrist level, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications resulting from a complete traumatic amputation of the entire left hand, specifically at the wrist joint. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to the loss of the hand.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of chronic conditions directly related to a past complete traumatic amputation of the left hand at the wrist. This would include scenarios such as phantom limb pain, stump complications, or fitting/management of prosthetics, occurring after the initial healing phase.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the primary code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., phantom limb pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic condition resulting from the past amputation.
• Verify the amputation was complete and specifically involved the left hand at the wrist level.
