Nondisplaced fracture of trapezoid, right wrist, sequela

This code indicates a healed or chronic condition resulting from a fracture of the trapezoid bone in the right wrist, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the original injury. It signifies that the patient is experiencing ongoing effects or complications directly attributable to this past fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with residual symptoms, complications, or long-term effects (e.g., chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion) from a previously sustained, nondisplaced right trapezoid fracture. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits after the initial healing period has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code first, followed by codes for any specific residual conditions or symptoms.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms or condition to the historical nondisplaced right trapezoid fracture.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or active healing phases of the fracture; use acute fracture codes for those scenarios.
