Complete traumatic amp of right foot at ankle level, init

This code signifies the complete severance of the right foot from the leg at the ankle joint due to a traumatic injury. This is an acute event, indicating the initial presentation and active treatment phase of the injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a complete traumatic avulsion or detachment of the right foot at the talocrural joint. This is appropriate for the initial hospital admission, emergency department visit, or first encounter for definitive treatment of the amputation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "complete" amputation and the exact anatomical level (ankle).
• Verify laterality (right foot) is clearly documented.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment. Subsequent care would require different seventh characters.
