Congen absence of right thigh and lower leg w foot present

This code describes a birth defect characterized by the complete absence of the right thigh and lower leg, while the foot on that side is still present. This is a severe form of congenital limb deficiency affecting the entire proximal and middle segments of the lower extremity.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a congenital absence of the right femur and tibia/fibula, with the right foot being present. This typically applies to infants or children diagnosed with this specific type of phocomelia or amelia variant affecting the right lower limb. Supporting documentation would include imaging reports (e.g., X-rays, MRI) and clinical examination findings.

• Ensure laterality is correctly identified (right vs. left).
• Verify that the foot is explicitly documented as present; absence of the foot would require a different code.
• Distinguish from other congenital malformations of the lower limb, such as hypoplasia or other types of reductions.
