Partial traumatic trnsphal amputation of r mid finger, init

This code signifies an injury where a portion of the right middle finger has been severed across the bone (phalanx), but not the entire digit. This type of amputation is traumatic, meaning it resulted from an external force or accident.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a partial loss of the right middle finger due to an accident, such as a crush injury or laceration. It should be used when the patient is first seen for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "partial" and "transphalangeal" to support code selection.
• Verify the laterality (right) and specific digit (middle finger) are clearly documented.
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
