Partial traumatic transphalangeal amputation of unspecified finger, initial encounter. S68.629A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The decision was therefore made to complete the amputation by transecting the flexor tendon and then using the skin from the tip as graft in order to cover exposed bone and preserve as much length as possible. The nail was removed with an tiris scissors and then the nail bed and remainder of the distal phalanx was then dissected free.

If an accident or trauma results in complete amputation (the body part is totally severed), the part sometimes can be reattached, often when proper care is taken of the severed part and stump, or residual limb. In a partial amputation, some soft-tissue connection remains.
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.
Acquired absence of other finger(s) ICD-10-CM Z89. 022 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Acquired absence of limb, unspecified Z89. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z89. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A loss of bone and soft tissue in the distal phalanx occurs following the amputation of the fingertip. The redundant nail bed that folds over the tip of the phalanx terminal causes a hook nail deformity [34]. This deformity leads to fingertip discomfort or even pain, which may exclude the finger from daily activities.
Fingertip amputation occurs distal to the insertion of flexor or extensor tendons into the distal phalanx. Numerous techniques are available for the repair of fingertip amputations, with the common goal of reducing pain and preserving sensation at the tip (see Technique).

Introduction. Digital amputation is the surgical removal of the digit. With appropriate candidate selection, amputation of the digit provides pain relief, improved welfare, improved production and maintenance of weight.
ICD 10 codes from Z89. 43 series are used for reporting amputation of foot or absence of foot. In this procedure, the physician amputates the foot across the transmetatarsal region.
CPT 27882 Amputation, leg, through tibia and fibula; open, circular (guillotine)CPT 27884 Amputation, leg, through tibia and fibula; secondary closure or scar revision.CPT 27886 Amputation, leg, through tibia and fibula; re- amputation.
Transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) is a surgery to remove part of your foot. You may need a TMA if you have poor blood flow to your foot or a severe infection. A toe amputation is a surgery to remove one or more toes.

Complete healing usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, although stiffness and hypersensitivity (extreme sensitivity) may remain longer, depending on the severity of the injury.
For amputation, a circumferential skin incision should be made at a point distal to the joint to allow for disarticulation of the interphalangeal joint via transection of the flexor and extensor tendons, as well as collateral ligaments and joint capsule.
One index finger DP and one little finger DP were completely amputated. Fractures occurred at an average force of 1485 N.
Using a finger, apply pressure to the tender area of your hand. Keep the pressure there for about 15 seconds. Rub the area with a variety of textures, such as cotton wool, polar fleece, a towel or velcro. Begin with the least irritating texture and gradually increase the texture as your tolerance to the touch improves.
