Nondisp fx of triquetrum bone, right wrist, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition stemming from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the triquetrum bone in the right wrist. The patient is no longer in the acute phase of injury but is experiencing ongoing issues directly attributable to the prior fracture.

This code is appropriate for documenting chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other long-term complications in the right wrist that are a direct consequence of a past triquetral fracture. It should be used when the initial fracture has healed, but its effects persist and require ongoing management or evaluation.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the current condition or symptom being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to the historical triquetral fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of an acute or subacute fracture; use the appropriate acute fracture code instead.
