Partial traumatic trnsphal amp of l mid finger, sequela

This code describes a partial amputation of the left middle finger that occurred due to trauma, where the amputation extends through one or more phalanges but not the entire finger. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the initial traumatic amputation, occurring after the acute phase of the injury.

Use this code when documenting long-term effects or complications stemming from a previous partial traumatic transphalangeal amputation of the left middle finger. This includes conditions like chronic pain, nerve damage, non-union of bone fragments, or functional limitations directly attributable to the original injury. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits or when treating ongoing issues related to the amputation.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous traumatic amputation.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; it is specifically for sequelae.
• Verify the laterality (left) and specific digit (middle finger) are accurately documented.
