Partial traumatic amputation of unspecified midfoot, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications resulting from a partial traumatic amputation of an unspecified part of the midfoot. This means a portion of the midfoot was traumatically severed, but not completely, and the patient is now experiencing ongoing issues related to that past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition directly attributable to a previous partial traumatic midfoot amputation. This includes chronic pain, non-union, malunion, or functional limitations that are a direct consequence of the original injury. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits long after the initial injury has healed.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, deformity).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past partial traumatic midfoot amputation.
• Verify that the amputation was indeed partial and traumatic, and that the affected area was the midfoot.
