Partial traumatic trnsphal amputation of left thumb, subs

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the left thumb, specifically involving a portion of the phalanx, that occurred due to an injury. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury, rather than initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being seen for ongoing management, healing, or complications related to a previously sustained partial traumatic amputation of their left thumb. This includes visits for wound care, physical therapy, or assessment of healing progress after the initial injury and treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left thumb" and "partial transphalangeal amputation."
• The 7th character "D" is crucial for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial treatment.
• Confirm the amputation is traumatic in nature, not congenital or surgical.
