Complete traumatic amputation of right great toe, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a complete traumatic amputation of the right great toe. It is used when the initial injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience issues directly attributable to the amputation, such as phantom limb pain, stump complications, or functional limitations.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a complete traumatic amputation of their right great toe. This includes encounters for managing chronic pain, fitting prosthetics, addressing stump infections, or evaluating ongoing functional deficits related to the absence of the toe. Do not use for the initial injury encounter.

• Always sequence this sequela code after any current condition being treated that is related to the amputation.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traumatic amputation of the right great toe.
• Distinguish from acute traumatic amputations, which use acute injury codes.
