Complete traumatic amputation of left great toe, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a complete traumatic amputation of the left great toe. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual issues directly attributable to the loss of the digit.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past complete traumatic amputation of their left great toe. Examples include phantom limb pain, stump complications, or issues related to prosthetic fitting or gait disturbances stemming from the amputation.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the sequela of the past amputation.
• Do not use this code for the initial injury or acute care phase of the amputation; those require acute injury codes.
• Code any associated current complications (e.g., infection of the stump) in addition to this sequela code.
