S62.112A
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of triquetrum [cuneiform] bone, left wrist, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a break in the triquetrum bone, located on the ulnar side of the wrist, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. The injury affects the left wrist and is being treated for the first time, without an open wound exposing the fracture site.
Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-compound fracture of the left triquetrum bone that shows displacement on imaging. This is appropriate for the initial visit where definitive treatment, such as reduction or casting, is planned or initiated.
