What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2014 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

How CDC's index refers to this code
Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
- Injury > hand > fracture
- Fracture, traumatic > hand > carpal
- Fracture, traumatic > wrist > carpal
- Fracture, traumatic > carpal bone > cuneiform
- Fracture, traumatic > carpal bone > triquetrum
- Fracture, traumatic > carpal bone > triquetrum > nondisplaced
