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

This code signifies a fracture of the pisiform bone in the left wrist that has not shifted from its original position. It is specifically used when the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up treatment of a left pisiform fracture that was previously diagnosed and is now exhibiting delayed union. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing continued immobilization, physical therapy, or other interventions aimed at promoting healing after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the pisiform fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the left pisiform and is nondisplaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter code would be used for the first presentation.
