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

This code signifies a fracture of the trapezoid bone in the left wrist that has shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a displaced left trapezoid fracture that is progressing through routine healing. This would include appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy sessions during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left wrist" for the trapezoid fracture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify that the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, not for a new injury or complication.
