Disp fx of lunate, unsp wrist, init for clos fx

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the lunate bone, located in the wrist, that has not been specified as to which wrist is affected. The fracture is a closed type, meaning the skin remains intact, and this is the initial encounter for treatment.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with a newly diagnosed, displaced lunate fracture that is not open to the environment. This is appropriate for initial evaluation and management, including reduction or casting, before definitive healing has begun.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "closed" for lunate fractures.
• Verify this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care will require different encounter characters.
• If the wrist (left/right) is documented, a more specific code should be chosen.
