S58.911Complete traumatic amputation of right forearm, level unspecified

S58.911 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complete traumatic amputation of right forearm, level unspecified. It belongs to category S58 (traumatic amputation of elbow and forearm), block S50-S59 (injuries to the elbow and forearm) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S58.91, choose S58.911 (right forearm, level unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: left forearm, level unspecified (S58.912) and unspecified forearm, level unspecified (S58.919).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
