Partial traumatic trnsphal amputation of l mid finger, subs

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the left middle finger, specifically involving a portion of the phalanx, not the entire digit. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury after the initial treatment phase. This could include wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring for complications.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously sustained partial traumatic amputation of the left middle finger. This applies to visits for dressing changes, assessment of healing, removal of sutures, or rehabilitation following the initial acute injury. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment of the amputation itself.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "partial" and "transphalangeal" to differentiate from complete or other amputation levels.
• Verify the laterality (left) and specific digit (middle finger) are accurately documented.
• Confirm the encounter type is "subsequent" (D) and not initial (A) or sequela (S) for this specific injury.
