In simple words: This code signifies the absence of the left hand and finger(s) since birth.

Congenital absence of left hand and finger.

Example 1: A newborn infant is examined and found to be missing the entire left hand and all associated fingers., A 6 year old child presents with congenital absence of the left hand and fingers. This was noted at birth but never coded., A prenatal ultrasound reveals that the fetus has no left hand or fingers.

Clinical documentation should clearly specify the absence of the left hand and fingers, whether it is complete or partial, and any associated conditions.
