Partial traumatic amputation at unsp hip joint, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a traumatic event that resulted in the partial removal of a limb at an unspecified hip joint. This includes conditions such as phantom limb pain, stump complications, or functional limitations directly attributable to the original partial amputation.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of a previous partial traumatic amputation at the hip, and the specific hip (left or right) is not documented. This is used for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of chronic issues related to the amputation.

• Requires a seventh character "S" to indicate sequela, meaning the current condition is a late effect of the initial injury.
• Do not use for the initial encounter of the traumatic amputation itself; this code is for subsequent encounters addressing residual problems.
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., phantom limb pain, infection of amputation stump) first, followed by this code as a secondary diagnosis.
