Complete traumatic amputation of right great toe, init

This code signifies the complete severance of the right great toe due to a traumatic event. This means the toe is entirely detached from the foot, and the injury is acute, representing the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific amputation.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient who has sustained a complete traumatic amputation of their right great toe. This would include scenarios such as an industrial accident, a severe crush injury, or a laceration that results in the complete detachment of the digit.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "complete" amputation and specifies the "right great toe."
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for active treatment of the injury. Subsequent care will require different encounter characters.
• Do not use for partial amputations or avulsions where the toe remains partially attached.
