Nondisp fx of triquetrum bone, l wrs, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the triquetrum bone in the left wrist that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left triquetrum fracture is seen for routine follow-up care, such as cast checks, physical therapy, or imaging to monitor healing progress. It should be used when the fracture is progressing to healing without issues.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left wrist" for the triquetrum fracture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Confirm the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, not for a new injury or complication.
