S78.112Complete traumatic amputation at level between left hip and knee

S78.112 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complete traumatic amputation at level between left hip and knee. 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 S78.11 (complete traumatic amputation at level between hip and knee), S78.112 is specifically for complete traumatic amputation at level between left hip and knee. Related codes cover right hip and knee (S78.111) and unspecified hip and knee (S78.119).

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.
