Disp fx of triquetrum bone, right wrist, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the triquetrum bone, one of the small carpal bones in the wrist, specifically on the right side. The fracture is "displaced," meaning the bone fragments are out of their normal alignment, and it is a "closed" fracture, indicating the skin remains intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the right triquetrum bone. This includes the initial evaluation, reduction (if performed), and casting or splinting.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right wrist" and "triquetrum" to support this specific code.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and "closed."
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for active treatment; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
