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

This code signifies a left wrist lunate bone fracture that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "G" suffix indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for the fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored or treated for a non-displaced left lunate fracture that has not yet fully healed within the anticipated timeframe. This includes scenarios where the patient is undergoing continued immobilization, physical therapy, or other interventions due to delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left wrist" and "lunate" to differentiate from other carpal bones or laterality.
• The "G" suffix is crucial and indicates a subsequent encounter with delayed healing; do not use for initial treatment or routine healing.
• Verify that the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" to avoid miscoding with displaced lunate fractures.
