This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the right lower limb occurring specifically at the hip joint level. This means the limb was not completely severed, but a significant portion was traumatically detached at the articulation point with the pelvis.

Apply this code for follow-up care, such as wound care, physical therapy, or management of complications, after the initial treatment of a partial traumatic amputation at the right hip joint. It is used when the patient is seen for continued care related to this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "partial" and "traumatic" amputation at the "right hip joint."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for sequelae (late effects) of the injury.
