Disp fx of body of hamate bone, l wrs, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the hamate bone's body in the left wrist that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left hamate body fracture is receiving routine follow-up care. This includes visits for cast changes, splint adjustments, or general monitoring of uncomplicated healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "body of hamate" for laterality and specific bone part.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing, not for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
• Always check for the appropriate seventh character to indicate the encounter type (initial, subsequent, sequela).
