Acquired absence of other finger(s) ICD-10-CM Z89. 022 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Fingertip amputation is defined by an injury that occurs distal to the tendon insertions on the distal phalanx. Most will involve some kind of repair in the ED, and many will also require definitive operative care by a hand surgeon.
Transphalangeal amputations usually involve the four fingers in similar or slightly varying degrees. Most often these patients need no device but they may desire cosmetic fingers. These can be fitted easily when at least half of the proximal phalanx remains for each finger.

What is Finger Amputation? Finger amputations are a common traumatic injury to the hand and may occur anywhere along the length of the finger. Fingertip injuries, often associated with an injury to the fingernail, are the most common type of finger amputation.
5,6 In a complete amputation, there are no tissues, ligaments, muscles or other anatomical structures connecting the amputated part to the body. A partial amputation is one in which an anatomical structure, such as a ligament, tendon or muscle, is still intact between the body and the amputated anatomy.
Zonal classification of amputations involving the nail bed and fingertip: Zone I is distal to the phalanx; Zone II is distal to the lunula; Zone III is proximal to the lunula. An injury classified as zone I occurs distal to the bony structures of the digit and the distal phalanx is preserved.
Although it is unclear how OSHA would classify certain injuries, OSHA has been very clear that loss of the tip of a finger is considered an amputation. The definition of amputation expressly includes the loss of the tip of a finger with or without bone.
Transphalangeal toe amputation is performed for gangrene or infection of the distal phalanx of the toe with adequate blood supply. This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
Complete amputation of digit(s) that cannot successfully be replanted—either due to degree of injury to the digit, or to the likely impairment that a poorly functioning replanted digit would cause for the rest of the hand. From: Operative Techniques: Hand and Wrist Surgery (Third Edition), 2018.
