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.

Laryngoscopy is when a doctor uses a special camera to look down the throat to see the voice box (larynx) and vocal cords. Ear, nose, and throat specialists (also called ENT doctors or otolaryngologists) do laryngoscopies.
CPT® 31541 in section: Laryngoscopy, direct, operative, with excision of tumor and/or stripping of vocal cords or epiglottis.
Revision amputation is usually performed at the level of the eponychium. If at least 25% of the nail bed is present, the patient benefits from maintaining that nail. However, resection is recommended if less than 25% of the nail bed is present. In children, the tip of the finger is often avulsed with the nail bed.

28810 osteotomy is made through the metatarsal (ultimately in this case). What may be throwing you off is that the doc performed the disarticulation at the MTP joint first (28820) and then afterwards performed the osteotomy through the MT (28820).
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.

ICD-10-CM Code for Pain in right finger(s) M79. 644.
Leg or foot amputation is the removal of a leg, foot or toes from the body. These body parts are called extremities. Amputations are done either by surgery or they occur by accident or trauma to the body.
Primary amputation is removal of the digit following an acute injury or infection. Secondary amputation occurs when earlier attempts to preserve the digit have failed. In 26951, the wound is approximated, reduced, and sutured in layers. In 26952, local advancement flaps are necessary for closure.
The overlying skin is incised and the tissues are dissected to the bone. The bone is removed. The vessels and nerves are ligated using microsurgical techniques. Primary amputation is removal of the digit following an acute injury or infection. Secondary amputation occurs when earlier attempts to preserve the digit have failed. In 26951, the wound is approximated, reduced, and sutured in layers. In 26952, local advancement flaps are necessary for closure.
Can someone please confirm that CPT 26951 is the correct code for the following procedure?#N#Preop DX: Traumatic amputation, right index finger with fracture through the distal phalangeal physis.#N#Procedure: Patient was taken to the op room and placed on the table.The right upper extremity was sterilely prepped and draped after the administration of the general anesthetic. The finger tip was then examined. Upon initial presentation in the ER dept. The finger tip was rotated by 180 degrees with a nail on the volar surface. This was reduced in the ER and upon exam under anesthesia, it is apparent that the only remaining attachmentis the flexor tendon. There was no soft tissue attachment whatsoever and no perfusion obviously of the tip of the finger. 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. The subcutaneous tissues were dissected off of the skin and dermis. This was then placed over the tip of the finder. There was no contamination whatsoever. The nail had been avulsed from the tip and there was a small amount of germinal matrix appearing tissue on the ulnar side of the finger tip. This was removed with a scalpel. The graft was then sutured with 4-0 chromic suture. An initial dorsal stay suture was placed and then further stitches were placed around the circumference with the skin being trimmed as necessary to provide good coverage without any tension and without creating a pocket for hematoma formation. There was capillary bleeding from the distal tip of the finger, but this was minimal. The coverage was quite good. The fingers and hand was then cleaned with saline. A metacarpal block was done with .25% marcaine. A sterile dressing of Xeroform and two gauze was then applied which was tied around the wrist and then this was covered with Coban. Pt doing well transferred to postop for recovery.#N#Did an amputation of the bone in the finger happen? I do not read where any part of the bone was cut. I see where the bone was covered, but no bone was cut out.#N#What do you think, correct CPT code or if not any suggestions? Thank you.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Amputation, subterm midtarsal identifies code 84.12, Amputation through foot. This code is assigned for amputations of forefoot, amputation through middle of foot, midtarsal amputation, and transmetatarsal amputation of either the right or left foot.
Editor's note: This is the second in a series of 10 articles discussing the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS.
The Alphabetic Index entry main term Extraction, subterm Bone Marrow refers the coding professional to Table 07D. The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 07DR3ZX. The fourth character (R) identifies the body part as bone marrow, iliac. Unlike ICD-9-CM, the code specifies the specific location of the bone marrow biopsy.
The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0Y6N0ZF. The fourth character (N) identifies the body part as the left foot and the seventh character (F) identifies the level of detachment as partial fifth ray. The definition for partial fifth ray is amputation anywhere along the shaft or head of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. The fifth character identifies the technique to reach the operative site or approach. The procedural approach was open (0) because an incision was made to reach the operative site.
The fifth character of the code identifies the technique used to reach the operative site. The approach for the bone marrow biopsy was percutaneous (3). In ICD-10-PCS the fifth character always identifies the specific approach utilized to reach the operative site.
Procedures performed following a delivery or abortion for curettage of the endometrium or evacuation of retained products of conception are all coded in the Obstetrics section, to the root operation Extraction, and the body part Products of Conception, Retained.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Ablation, subterm endometrium identifies code 68.23, Endometrial ablation. Code 68.23 would be assigned whether or not a scope was utilized during the procedure.
