Partial traumatic transmetcrpl amp of right hand, sequela

This code signifies a previous injury involving the partial traumatic amputation across the metacarpal bones of the right hand. It indicates that the patient has a residual condition or complication directly resulting from this past traumatic event, rather than an acute injury. The amputation is not complete, meaning some portion of the hand distal to the wrist remains.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care, long-term management, or treatment of complications (e.g., phantom limb pain, neuroma, stump revision) related to a partial traumatic transmetacarpal amputation of the right hand that occurred in the past. It is appropriate for encounters where the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing effects or receiving care for the amputation itself.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the primary diagnosis for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic condition resulting from a past amputation.
• Verify laterality (right hand) and the specific level of amputation (transmetacarpal, partial) are accurately reflected in the medical record.
