Partial traumatic amputation of unsp great toe, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from a partial traumatic amputation of an unspecified great toe. This means the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing ongoing issues directly attributable to the previous partial loss of the toe.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for conditions such as chronic pain, nerve damage, scar tissue complications, or functional limitations that are a direct consequence of a past partial traumatic great toe amputation. It is appropriate for encounters occurring after the initial healing phase of the amputation.

• Always use a seventh character of "S" for sequela to indicate a late effect.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous partial traumatic amputation of the great toe.
• Do not use this code for the initial injury or during the active healing phase; instead, use an acute injury code.
