Nondisp 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 right wrist, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that this is the first time the fracture is being treated, and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right triquetrum bone. This applies when the injury is acute and the patient is receiving initial treatment, such as immobilization or pain management, for a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right wrist" and "triquetrum" to support this code.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate selection.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for treatment; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
