Complete traumatic trnsphal amputation of r rng fngr, subs

This code signifies a complete traumatic amputation that occurred across the phalanx of the right ring finger. It indicates that the patient is in the healing or recovery phase following the initial injury, or receiving follow-up care for complications related to the amputation.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a complete traumatic transphalangeal amputation of their right ring finger. This includes visits for wound care, pain management, prosthetic fitting, or monitoring for infection or other delayed complications.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "complete" and "transphalangeal" to support this specific code.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Confirm the laterality (right) and digit (ring finger) are accurately documented.
