Partial traumatic amputation of right great toe, subs encntr

This code signifies a traumatic injury where the right great toe has been partially severed, but not completely detached, due to an external force. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury after the initial treatment phase.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of their right great toe. This includes visits for wound care, infection management, physical therapy, or monitoring healing progress related to the original injury. Do not use for the initial treatment of the injury.

• Requires a seventh character "D" for subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment or healing phase.
• Distinguish carefully between partial and complete amputations; this code is only for partial.
• Ensure laterality (right) and digit (great toe) are accurately documented in the medical record.
