Partial traumatic amp at level betw r hip and knee, sequela

This code signifies a partial loss of the right lower limb, specifically between the hip and the knee joint, due to a past traumatic event. It indicates that the patient is currently experiencing a long-term consequence or complication directly attributable to this previous amputation.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct result of a partial traumatic amputation of the right thigh, which occurred in the past. This includes issues like phantom limb pain, stump complications, or functional limitations stemming from the original injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the sequela of the past amputation.
• Verify the amputation was partial and located specifically between the hip and knee on the right side.
• Always sequence this sequela code after the primary diagnosis describing the current condition being treated.
