Disp fx of trapezoid, right wrist, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the trapezoid bone in the right wrist that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of routine healing following initial treatment for this injury.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed and treated displaced right trapezoid fracture, and the healing process is progressing without complications. This would include visits for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy assessments during the routine healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right wrist" for the trapezoid fracture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use for follow-up care after initial treatment.
• Verify laterality (right) is clearly documented to support the specific code.
