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

This code signifies a previous injury involving the incomplete traumatic removal of tissue from an unspecified hip and thigh region, where the exact level of amputation is not documented. It indicates that the patient is currently experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect directly attributable to this past partial amputation.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, non-union, scar contracture, functional limitation) resulting from a partial traumatic amputation of the hip and thigh that occurred in the past. This code is appropriate when the specific side (left or right) and the precise anatomical level of the amputation are not specified in the medical record.

• 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 previous partial traumatic amputation.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; it is exclusively for sequelae.
