Complications of other reattached body part

This code signifies complications arising from a previously reattached body part, excluding reattached extremities. These complications can include infection, necrosis, non-union, malunion, or functional impairment following the reattachment procedure. It indicates that the reattachment itself was successful, but subsequent issues have developed.

Use this code when documenting adverse events or conditions directly related to a reattached body part other than an arm or leg. This would include complications of reattached digits (other than thumb/finger, which have specific codes), ears, noses, or other non-extremity body parts. It should be assigned when the complication is the primary reason for the encounter or a significant secondary diagnosis.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific complication (e.g., infection, necrosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the reattached body part and the nature of the complication.
• Distinguish from complications of reattached upper or lower extremities, which are coded separately under T87.0-T87.1.
