Nondisp 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 has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of recovery, and the bone is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right lunate fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This would include appointments for cast changes, physical therapy assessments, or imaging to confirm callus formation during the healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right wrist" for the lunate fracture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Verify the encounter type aligns with routine follow-up care for a healing fracture.
