S78.021A
ICD-10-CMPartial traumatic amputation at right hip joint, initial encounter
This code describes an incomplete traumatic separation of the right lower limb at the hip joint, meaning some connection (e.g., skin, muscle, bone) remains. This injury is the result of an external force and is being treated for the first time.
Apply this code for patients presenting with a right hip disarticulation that is not complete, such as when a flap of skin or a few muscle fibers still connect the limb to the body. This is appropriate for the initial hospital admission or outpatient visit for this specific injury.
