Partial traum amp of r hip and thigh, level unsp, sequela

This code signifies a previous, incomplete traumatic removal of tissue from the right hip and thigh region, where the exact level of the amputation was not documented. It indicates that the patient is now experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect directly related to that past injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for treatment of a current condition, such as chronic pain, phantom limb sensation, or a non-healing wound, that is a direct consequence of a partial traumatic amputation of the right hip and thigh that occurred in the past. This code is appropriate when the initial injury is no longer acute and the specific level of the amputation was not recorded.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical partial traumatic amputation.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate, indicating a sequela, and not an initial encounter or subsequent encounter for an active injury.
