S68.11Complete traumatic metacarpophalangeal amputation of other and unspecified finger

S68.11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complete traumatic metacarpophalangeal amputation of other and unspecified finger. It belongs to category S68 (traumatic amputation of wrist, hand and fingers), block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S68.1, choose S68.11 (Complete traumatic metacarpophalangeal amputation of other and unspecified finger) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: partial traumatic metacarpophalangeal amputation of other and unspecified finger (S68.12).

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.
