Nondisp fx of triquetrum bone, r wrs, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a right wrist injury involving a triquetrum bone fracture that was initially nondisplaced but has since healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. The patient is currently receiving care for this specific complication of the fracture.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a malunion of a previously nondisplaced right triquetrum fracture. This would include scenarios such as evaluating the extent of the malunion, planning corrective surgery, or managing ongoing symptoms related to the improper healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right wrist" and "triquetrum bone."
• Verify that the initial fracture was nondisplaced and that the current encounter addresses a malunion.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
