S78.021Partial traumatic amputation at right hip joint

S78.021 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for partial traumatic amputation at right hip joint. It belongs to category S78 (traumatic amputation of hip and thigh), block S70-S79 (injuries to the hip and thigh) 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 S78.02 (partial traumatic amputation at hip joint), S78.021 is specifically for partial traumatic amputation at right hip joint. Related codes cover left hip joint (S78.022) and unspecified hip joint (S78.029).

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.
