Partial traumatic trnsphal amputation of r rng fngr, init

This code signifies a traumatic injury to the right ring finger where a portion of the finger, specifically involving the phalanx, has been amputated. The amputation is partial, meaning some tissue remains, and it is transphalangeal, indicating the amputation occurred across the bone of the phalanx rather than at a joint.

Use this code for patients presenting with an acute, open injury to the right ring finger resulting in the loss of a portion of the phalanx due to trauma. This applies to initial encounters for treatment of the fresh injury, such as debridement, reattachment attempts, or wound closure.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "partial" and "transphalangeal" amputation of the right ring finger.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
• Confirm the laterality (right) and specific digit (ring finger) are clearly documented.
