Disp fx of lunate, right wrist, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the lunate bone in the right wrist that has shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of care, specifically experiencing delayed healing of this fracture.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced right lunate fracture, and the healing process is not progressing as expected. This would be used for encounters where the focus is on managing the delayed union or nonunion of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right wrist" and "displaced" for the lunate fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and explicitly mentions delayed healing or a similar complication.
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or routine follow-up without a documented healing complication.
