Partial traumatic amputation of unsp great toe, subs encntr

This code signifies a partial traumatic loss of the great toe, where the amputation is not complete, and the specific side (left or right) is not documented. This injury results from an external force and involves some remaining tissue of the great toe.

Apply this code for follow-up care of a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of an unspecified great toe. This includes visits for wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring of healing after the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "partial" amputation and an "unspecified" great toe.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the injury or for sequelae (late effects).
