Partial traumatic amp of left foot at ankle level, sequela

This code signifies a previous injury where a portion of the left foot was traumatically severed at the ankle joint, and the patient is now experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect of that amputation. This is not for the initial injury but for conditions arising months or years after the original event.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of their left foot at the ankle level, and the current encounter addresses a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, non-union of bone fragments, phantom limb sensation, or complications related to a prosthesis fitting) directly resulting from that past injury. Do not use for the acute injury itself.

• Requires an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, infection, malunion).
• Confirm the amputation was traumatic and specifically involved a partial loss of the left foot at the ankle level.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates this is a sequela, meaning it's for complications or conditions arising from the initial injury after the acute phase has passed.
