Complete traum amp of two or more right lesser toes, init

This code signifies the complete severance of at least two of the smaller toes on the right foot due to a traumatic event. This injury involves the entire separation of the toe(s) from the foot, rather than a partial detachment or crush injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a complete traumatic amputation of any two or more right lesser toes (e.g., second, third, fourth, or fifth toes) following an acute injury. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury, including emergency department visits or initial surgical repair.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "complete" amputation and involves at least two "lesser" toes on the "right" foot.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
• Do not use this code for partial amputations, avulsions, or crush injuries without complete severance.
