Partial traumatic amputation of right midfoot, subs encntr

This code signifies a partial traumatic loss of the right midfoot, meaning a portion of the midfoot was severed due to an injury, but not the entire structure. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury after the initial treatment phase.

Apply this code for patients presenting for subsequent care related to a partial traumatic amputation of their right midfoot. This includes encounters for wound care, cast changes, physical therapy, or monitoring for complications like infection or delayed healing, after the initial acute treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the "right midfoot."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning care after the initial active treatment.
• Always code any associated complications, such as infection or non-union, separately.
