Disp fx of lunate, left wrist, init encntr for open fracture

This code signifies a fracture of the lunate bone in the left wrist that is out of its normal alignment and has broken through the skin, exposing the bone. This injury is being treated for the first time.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an open, displaced fracture of the left lunate bone, requiring initial surgical or non-surgical management. This would typically be documented in the emergency department or initial orthopedic consultation notes following the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left wrist" and "displaced" for accurate coding.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "open" to differentiate from closed fractures.
• The "B" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for an open fracture.
