This code signifies a total separation of the entire right lower limb, including the head of the femur, from the pelvis due to trauma. This is a severe injury where the limb is completely detached at the hip joint level.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a traumatic avulsion or complete severance of the right leg at the hip joint. This would typically be seen in high-impact accidents, industrial injuries, or other severe traumatic events.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "complete" amputation and "traumatic" etiology.
• Verify the laterality is explicitly stated as "right."
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for this specific injury.
