Disp fx of pisiform, left wrist, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a left wrist fracture involving the pisiform bone, which is displaced from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed displaced pisiform fracture of the left wrist. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing routinely and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left wrist" and "pisiform" to support this specific code.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or nonunion.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed displaced, as non-displaced fractures would require a different code.
