Complete traumatic amp at level betw r hip and knee, init

This code signifies a total separation of the right lower limb, specifically occurring between the hip joint and the knee, due to a traumatic event. It indicates that the entire limb distal to the point of injury is no longer attached to the body.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a complete traumatic avulsion or severance of the right thigh. This would typically be seen in severe accidents, such as industrial injuries, motor vehicle collisions, or blast injuries, where the limb is entirely detached.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "complete" amputation and specifies the right side.
• Verify the amputation level is definitively between the hip and knee, not at the hip or knee joint itself.
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for this injury, meaning the patient is receiving active treatment.
