Nondisp fx of body of hamate bone, l wrs, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the body of the hamate bone in the left wrist that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture has healed improperly, resulting in a malunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left hamate body fracture is being managed, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms a malunion. It indicates ongoing treatment for the improperly healed fracture.

• Requires documentation of a malunion following a nondisplaced left hamate body fracture.
• Distinguish from nonunion (S62.145N) or routine healing (S62.145D, S62.145G, S62.145K).
• Ensure laterality (left wrist) is clearly documented.
