Partial traumatic amputation at left hip joint, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from a partial traumatic amputation that occurred at the left hip joint. It indicates that the patient is currently experiencing issues directly attributable to this past injury, where a portion of the limb was severed at the hip level due to trauma.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of the left hip and is now presenting with a sequela related to that amputation. This includes conditions like phantom limb pain, stump complications, or functional limitations that are a direct consequence of the original traumatic event.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., phantom limb pain, infection of amputation stump).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past partial traumatic amputation at the left hip.
• Do not use for initial injury or acute care of the amputation itself; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
