Partial traum amp of right shldr/up arm, level unsp, init

This code signifies a traumatic injury where the right shoulder and/or upper arm has been partially severed, but not completely detached. The specific level of the partial amputation within this region is not documented.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of patients presenting with a traumatic injury to the right upper extremity that involves a partial amputation of the shoulder or upper arm. This includes scenarios where tissue, bone, or muscle is severely damaged and partially separated but still connected to the body.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "partial amputation" and specifies the right side.
• If the level of amputation is known (e.g., at the shoulder joint, mid-humerus), a more specific code should be used.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
