Partial traumatic trnsphal amputation of r idx fngr, subs

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the right index finger, specifically involving a transphalangeal (across the phalanx) injury. This means a portion of the bone and soft tissue of the index finger was severed due to trauma, but not the entire digit.

Apply this code for follow-up care, such as wound checks, dressing changes, or physical therapy, for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic transphalangeal amputation of their right index finger. This code is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" and "transphalangeal" for the right index finger.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Verify laterality (right) and digit (index finger) are explicitly documented to support this specific code.
