Nondisp fx of trapezoid, right wrist, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the trapezoid bone of the right wrist that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The trapezoid is one of the carpal bones, located at the base of the thumb. This diagnosis indicates the initial treatment for a fracture where the skin remains intact over the injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right trapezoid bone, such as from a fall onto an outstretched hand. It is appropriate for the initial encounter where the fracture is closed, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right wrist" and "trapezoid" to differentiate from other carpal bone fractures or left-sided injuries.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for the fracture; subsequent care will require different seventh characters.
