Partial traumatic trnsphal amputation of l mid finger, init

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the left middle finger, meaning a portion of the finger, but not the entire digit, has been severed due to an injury. This type of injury typically involves damage to bone, soft tissue, and potentially neurovascular structures.

Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a partial traumatic amputation of their left middle finger. This includes emergency department visits, initial surgical repair, or the first encounter for evaluation and management of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "partial" amputation and the exact digit (middle finger) and laterality (left).
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for the injury; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
• Code any associated open wounds or other injuries separately if applicable and documented.
