A triquetral fracture happens when you break or crack the triquetrum, one of the 8 small carpal bones that form a part of your wrist.

wrist jointDescription. The triquetrum is one of eight carpal bones that forms part of the wrist joint. It is a pyramidal shaped bone that can be found in the medial side of the wrist. The name triquetrum is derived from the Latin word triquetrus which means "three-cornered".
Avulsion fracture (chip fracture) of talus The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S92. 15 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S92. 15 - other international versions of ICD-10 S92.
An avulsion fracture occurs when a small chunk of bone attached to a tendon or ligament gets pulled away from the main part of the bone.

CPT® 25606, Under Fracture and/or Dislocation Procedures on the Forearm and Wrist. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 25606 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Fracture and/or Dislocation Procedures on the Forearm and Wrist.
Anytime your bone loses integrity, whether it's the smallest hairline crack barely recognizable on an x-ray, or the shattering of bone into multiple pieces, it is considered a fracture.
The distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures of the wrist. It usually occurs when people fall on an outstretched hand. A broken wrist is a break or crack in one or more of the bones of your wrist.
The triquetrum is the second most commonly fractured carpal bone after the scaphoid. Nondisplaced triquetral fractures usually heal well, without complication. 2. The triquetrum bone articulates with the lunate and resides deep to the pisiform.
It’s important to understand payer guidelines and National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) bundling rules. Common examples of unbundling and miscoding errors include: 1 Reporting a ganglion cyst excision (25111 Excision of ganglion, wrist (dorsal or volar); primary) in addition to a synovectomy of the wrist (25118 Synovectomy, extensor tendon sheath, wrist, single compartment ): 25111 is bundled into the 25118. 2 Reporting a partial synovectomy (29844 Arthroscopy, wrist, surgical; synovectomy, partial) in addition to an arthroscopic TFCC repair (29846 Arthroscopy, wrist, surgical; excision and/or repair of triangular fibrocartilage and/or joint debridement) when the synovectomy is included in the repair. 3 Reporting 25215 Carpectomy; all bones of proximal row for a carpectomy of all proximal row bones when not all three bones (scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum) are excised. 4 Reporting a trapezium excision (25210 Carpectomy; 1 bone) in addition to a carpometacarpal joint arthroplasty (25447 Arthroplasty, interposition, intercarpal or carpometacarpal joints ). 5 Separately reporting bone grafts (20900 Bone graft, any donor area; minor or small (eg, dowel or button) or 20902 Bone graft, any donor area; major or large) with procedures that include these grafts. 6 Billing for initial application of a short-arm cast (29075 Application, cast; elbow to finger (short arm)) or short-arm splint (29125 Application of short arm splint (forearm to hand); static) with a surgical procedure on the wrist. 7 Coding fracture of carpal bone (S62.1- Fracture of other and unspecified carpal bone (s)) when the diagnosis is a distal radius fracture (S52.5- Fracture of lower end of radius ).
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a band of cartilage that cushions the area in the wrist where the ulna, lunate, and triquetrum intersect. The TFCC suspends the distal radius and ulnocarpal joints from the distal ulna.
A wrist defect often requiring surgical intervention is scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC.) SLAC is a condition of progressive instability that causes advanced radiocarpal and midcarpal osteoarthritis. SLAC describes a specific pattern of progressive subluxation with loss of articulation between the scaphoid and lunate bones. SLAC usually results from trauma to the wrist, but may be caused by a degenerative process such as calcinosis or as a sequela of a prior injury. SLAC is estimated to account for more than half of all non-traumatic wrist osteoarthritis cases.#N#Signs and symptoms of SLAC include:
Damage to the TFCC is often caused by: A fall on an outstretched hand; A drill-bit injury where the wrist rotates rather than the bit; A distraction force onto the volar forearm or wrist; or. A sequela of a distal radius fracture. Excessive load on the ulnocarpal joint can cause a TFCC tear.
A “sister” disease to SLAC is a scaphoid non-union advanced collapse (S NAC), which is a classification of post-traumatic wrist arthritis. This condition is a sequela of a scaphoid fracture, and characterized as chronic non-union.
The wrist, or carpus, contains eight carpal bones. There are three bones in the proximal row (scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum) and five bones in the distal row (trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate, and pisiform). The trapezium is also known as the greater multangular, the trapezoid as the lesser multangular, and the scaphoid as the navicular bone.#N#In ICD-10-CM, most wrist conditions coded from chapter 13 (M codes) have a “3” in the fifth position of the code such as M19.031 Primary osteoarthritis, right wrist. Common conditions of the wrist and distal radius from chapters 13 and 19 (M and S codes) are:
De Quervain’s disease (radial styloid tenosynovitis) is an inflammation of the first dorsal extensor compartment; this is entrapment tendinitis causing tendon thickening, which leads to restricted motion and a grinding sensation with tendon movement (crepitus).
