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

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the pisiform bone in the left wrist that is currently in the healing phase. The injury is not new, and the patient is receiving follow-up care for a fracture that is progressing as expected without complications.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced left pisiform fracture that is healing routinely. This applies to encounters for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period.

• 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 delayed/nonunion healing.
• Pair with appropriate procedure codes for services rendered during the encounter (e.g., cast application, physical therapy).
