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

This code signifies a break in the trapezium bone, located in the right wrist, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific diagnosis indicates that the fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a right wrist injury confirmed by imaging (e.g., X-ray) to be a displaced fracture of the trapezium. This is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or the first surgical intervention for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right wrist" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is "initial" for treatment of this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is "closed"; if open, a different code would be necessary.
