Partial traumatic amp of right hand at wrist level, sequela

This code signifies a previous injury where the right hand was partially severed at the wrist level due to trauma. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used to report the long-term effects or complications of that original amputation, not the initial acute injury itself.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of chronic conditions directly resulting from a partial traumatic amputation of the right hand at the wrist. This includes issues like phantom limb pain, stump complications, or the need for prosthetic fitting and adjustment, occurring long after the initial injury has healed.

• Always assign a sequela code for conditions that are residual effects of a past injury.
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter of the traumatic amputation; a different code would be used for the acute injury.
• Consider additional codes for specific complications or conditions being treated, such as pain or infection.
