Nondisp fx of triquetrum bone, left wrist, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the triquetrum bone, one of the small carpal bones in the left wrist, where the bone fragments have not shifted out of their normal alignment. The injury is new and is being treated for the first time, and the skin over the fracture is intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left triquetrum bone. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and management of such an injury, prior to any definitive treatment or follow-up care.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left wrist" and "triquetrum" to support this laterality and bone.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for the fracture; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
