Partial traumatic trnsphal amputation of r thm, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications resulting from a partial traumatic amputation across the phalanx of the right thumb. This means a portion of the thumb was severed due to injury, and the patient is now presenting for care related to the residual effects of that past trauma.

Use this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, nerve damage, scar tissue, limited range of motion, or other functional impairments of the right thumb that are directly attributable to a previous partial traumatic transphalangeal amputation. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits after the initial healing phase of the amputation.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior amputation of the right thumb.
• Verify that the amputation was "partial" and "transphalangeal" (across the phalanx), not just a fingertip injury.
• Confirm the encounter is for a sequela (late effect) and not an acute injury.
