Disp fx of lunate, right wrist, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the lunate bone in the right wrist that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right lunate fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes visits for cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or general follow-up appointments during the typical recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right wrist" for the lunate fracture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; avoid using for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Verify laterality (right) is clearly documented to support this specific code.
