Disp fx of body of hamate bone, unspecified wrist, sequela

This code signifies a past, displaced fracture of the body of the hamate bone, located in the wrist, where the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications from the original injury. The fracture itself is no longer acute, but its lasting impact is being addressed.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or complications directly attributable to a previously sustained and healed (or healing) displaced hamate body fracture. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing chronic pain, stiffness, or deformity resulting from the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly links current symptoms or conditions to the prior hamate fracture.
• Confirm the fracture was specifically of the body of the hamate and was displaced.
• The "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning the patient is experiencing a late effect of the original injury.
