Partial traum amp at level betw unsp hip and knee, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a partial traumatic amputation of the lower limb, specifically occurring somewhere between the hip and the knee, where the exact level is not specified. This indicates that a portion of the limb was traumatically removed, but not the entire limb, and the patient is now experiencing residual issues related to that past injury.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of the lower extremity between the hip and knee, and is now presenting with sequelae. This includes conditions like phantom limb pain, stump complications, or functional limitations directly attributable to the old amputation. It is appropriate for encounters occurring long after the initial injury has healed.

• Always use this code with an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., phantom limb syndrome, stump neuroma).
• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates the amputation was traumatic and partial, and that the encounter is for a late effect.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the amputation or for non-traumatic amputations.
