Partial traumatic amputation of right midfoot, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a traumatic injury that resulted in the partial loss of the right midfoot. This means a portion of the midfoot was severed due to an external force, and the patient is now experiencing residual issues related to that past event. These sequelae could include chronic pain, functional limitations, or complications from previous surgical interventions.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of their right midfoot and is now presenting with a condition directly attributable to that injury. This applies to situations where the initial acute injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience ongoing problems. Examples include chronic stump pain, phantom limb sensation, or issues with prosthetic fitting related to the amputation.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by codes for the specific condition(s) being treated (e.g., chronic pain, infection).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past partial traumatic amputation of the right midfoot.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; use the appropriate acute injury code for the initial encounter.
