Disp fx of capitate bone, r wrist, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the capitate bone in the right wrist that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is currently in the healing phase, and the recovery is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a right capitate fracture that was initially displaced but is now healing routinely. It would be used after the initial treatment (e.g., reduction, casting) has been performed and the fracture is stable and mending.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right wrist" for the capitate fracture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify the encounter type aligns with routine follow-up care for fracture consolidation.
