    ICD-10-CM Code For Traumatic Amputation Of Elbow And Forearm: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group S58 includes traumatic amputation injuries of the elbow and forearm, covering partial and complete traumatic separations at or proximal to the elbow and associated residual limb conditions. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document acute traumatic limb loss, associated soft tissue and neurovascular damage, and the need for surgical management and rehabilitation. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM S58 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM S58: Traumatic Amputation Of Elbow And Forearm Overview

    The diagnoses in this group represent traumatic amputation injuries affecting the elbow and forearm, including partial and complete loss of the distal upper limb through the elbow level. These injuries target the musculoskeletal and integumentary systems of the upper extremity and often involve neurovascular structures. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it reflects the severity and complexity of surgical, rehabilitative, and prosthetic care required.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when documenting an acute traumatic amputation through the elbow or forearm region resulting from injury. Select the specific code that reflects the level of amputation, laterality, and any associated complications or sequelae when applicable.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A middle-aged construction worker presents to the emergency department after a high-impact crush injury when a heavy beam fell on his left forearm at the elbow, with visible complete traumatic amputation through the distal humerus/proximal forearm and active hemorrhage. He is hemodynamically unstable and taken for emergent hemorrhage control and transfer to the operating room for possible replantation or stump management; an initial acute encounter code from this group is assigned to describe the traumatic amputation location and laterality. Typical codes: S58.012A, S58.022A
    • An elderly patient with peripheral vascular disease and diabetes arrives to the outpatient vascular surgery clinic months after a partial traumatic amputation of the right forearm sustained in a motorcycle accident; the limb did not heal and has chronic nonhealing stump pain and limited function requiring prosthetic fitting and ongoing wound care. A subsequent encounter code from this group capturing the history of traumatic amputation and sequelae is used to document chronic management and prosthesis planning. Typical codes: S58.119D, S58.129D
    • A young adult who had an initial traumatic amputation of the left elbow region two weeks ago (treated at an outside facility) presents to the hospital with wound infection, erythema, and fever requiring IV antibiotics and debridement; this acute complication of the recent amputation is being managed surgically and medically. A recent encounter code from the group indicating the traumatic amputation with current acute complication or subsequent encounter for treatment is assigned for accurate coding of the infection complication. Typical codes: S58.011D, S58.021D
