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

This code signifies a break in the trapezoid bone of the left wrist where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. This injury is considered a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left trapezoid bone. This is appropriate for the initial treatment or evaluation of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left wrist" for the trapezoid bone.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not subsequent care.
• Verify the fracture is closed; open fractures require different codes.
