Disp fx of lunate, right wrist, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the lunate bone, one of the carpal bones in the right wrist, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This injury typically results from significant trauma and can lead to pain, swelling, and limited wrist mobility.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-surgical, displaced fracture of the right lunate bone. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is identified and treatment is initiated, assuming the skin over the fracture site is intact.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right wrist" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
