Partial traumatic amputation at right hip joint, sequela

This code signifies a past traumatic event that resulted in the partial loss of the right lower limb at the hip joint level. It indicates that the amputation was not complete, meaning some tissue or bone may remain, and the current encounter is for a condition or complication arising from this old injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a long-term complication, sequela, or late effect directly attributable to a partial traumatic amputation of the right hip. This includes issues such as chronic pain, phantom limb syndrome, stump complications, or fitting/maintenance of a prosthesis related to the original injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the amputation was partial and traumatic at the right hip joint.
• Only use this code for conditions that are a sequela (late effect) of the original injury, not for the initial acute injury.
• Always code the specific condition or complication being treated in addition to this sequela code.
