S98.229A
ICD-10-CMPartial traumatic amputation of two or more unspecified lesser toes, initial encounter
This code signifies a traumatic injury where two or more of the patient's lesser toes have been partially severed, meaning some tissue remains connecting them to the foot. This is distinct from a complete amputation where the toe is fully detached. The "unspecified" aspect indicates that the specific lesser toes involved are not documented.
Apply this code for the initial encounter of a patient presenting with a partial traumatic amputation affecting multiple lesser toes. This would include injuries resulting from crushing accidents, machinery, or other severe trauma where the toes are not completely avulsed but are significantly damaged and partially detached.
