Complete traumatic amp of one unsp lesser toe, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence of a complete traumatic amputation of any lesser toe (toes 2-5) on an unspecified foot. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing the effects or complications of the amputation.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a complete traumatic amputation of a lesser toe, and the specific toe or foot was not documented or is unknown. This code is appropriate for encounters addressing the sequelae, such as phantom limb pain, stump issues, or prosthetic management, long after the initial injury has occurred and healed.

• This code is for sequela (S) encounters only, indicating a late effect of the injury.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the amputation was complete and traumatic.
• If the specific toe (e.g., second, third) or foot (left, right) is known, a more specific code should be used.
