Disp fx of pisiform, right wrist, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the pisiform bone in the right wrist that has shifted out of its normal anatomical alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of recovery where the bone is not healing at the expected rate, indicating delayed union.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right pisiform fracture that was initially displaced and is now exhibiting delayed healing. This would include subsequent visits for cast changes, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of the healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right wrist" and "pisiform" to support laterality and bone specificity.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly noted as "displaced" and that "delayed healing" is documented by the provider.
• This "G" encounter code is used after initial treatment and before normal healing or malunion/nonunion.
