Partial traumatic MCP amputation of right ring finger, init

This code signifies a traumatic injury where a portion of the right ring finger has been severed at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint level, but not the entire digit. This indicates a partial loss of the finger, specifically affecting the joint connecting the finger to the hand.

Apply this code for initial encounters with patients presenting with a partial traumatic amputation of their right ring finger at the MCP joint. This would include scenarios such as industrial accidents, crush injuries, or other trauma resulting in this specific type of finger loss.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the exact digit (right ring finger) and joint level (MCP).
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would use a different seventh character.
• Distinguish from complete amputations or amputations at other joint levels (e.g., interphalangeal joints).
