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

This code signifies a fracture of the lunate bone in the left wrist that has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left lunate fracture is receiving routine care, such as cast changes or physical therapy, and the fracture is progressing toward healing. This code is appropriate when no complications like malunion or nonunion are present.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left wrist" for the lunate fracture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or complicated healing.
• Always confirm laterality (left vs. right) is clearly documented.
