Nondisp fx of trapezoid, r wrist, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the trapezoid bone in the right wrist that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent visits for a right trapezoid fracture where the initial treatment has been rendered, and the physician is monitoring the routine healing process. It would be used after the initial encounter code for the acute fracture.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right wrist" for the trapezoid fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing, not for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
• Always pair with an external cause code if the injury mechanism is known and documented.
