Partial traumatic amp of two or more unsp lesser toes, subs

This code signifies a partial traumatic loss of at least two unspecified lesser toes (digits 2-5) due to an injury. "Partial" indicates that some portion of the toe(s) remains, rather than a complete detachment. The "subsequent encounter" designation means this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the amputation.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring for complications, for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of two or more lesser toes. This includes encounters for prosthetic fitting or adjustments related to the amputation.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and involves at least two lesser toes.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury, to justify the "D" seventh character.
• Do not use this code for complete amputations or amputations involving only the great toe.
