Part traum amp at lev betw knee and ankl, unsp low leg, sqla

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a partial traumatic amputation of an unspecified lower leg, specifically occurring between the knee and ankle. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual issues related to the amputation.

Use this code when documenting conditions such as phantom limb pain, stump complications (e.g., skin breakdown, neuroma), or functional limitations that are directly attributable to a partial traumatic amputation between the knee and ankle, and the initial injury occurred in the past. This code is appropriate for follow-up care and management of chronic issues related to the amputation.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code that describes the specific sequela (e.g., phantom limb syndrome, stump pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical partial traumatic amputation.
• Verify the amputation occurred between the knee and ankle and was traumatic in nature.
