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

This code signifies a fracture of the trapezium bone in the left wrist that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later phase of recovery, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left trapezium fracture. This is appropriate for subsequent visits where the fracture is undergoing routine healing, such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or progress checks after initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left wrist" and "displaced" for the trapezium fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing, not for initial treatment or complications.
• Verify the correct 7th character for subsequent encounter with routine healing.
