Nondisp fx of triquetrum bone, unsp wrs, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the triquetrum bone in an unspecified wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of healing, but the fracture is taking longer than expected to mend.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a triquetral fracture with no displacement, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care due to delayed healing. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase, but before the fracture is fully united.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "delayed healing" for this specific triquetrum fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care related to the fracture, not initial treatment or routine follow-up for a healed fracture.
• This code requires an additional code for the external cause of the injury if known.
