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

This code signifies a break in the triquetrum bone, located in the right wrist, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This specific injury is an open fracture, meaning there is a wound that communicates with the fracture site, exposing the bone to the outside environment.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right wrist injury confirmed as a displaced triquetral fracture with an associated open wound. This includes scenarios such as a fall onto an outstretched hand resulting in an open injury, or a direct impact causing an open fracture of this specific carpal bone.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "open fracture" for the triquetrum bone.
• Verify the laterality is explicitly documented as "right wrist."
• This "B" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for treatment; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
