Nondisp fx of capitate bone, r wrist, subs for fx w malunion

This code describes a right wrist injury involving a capitate bone fracture that was initially nondisplaced but is now healing incorrectly, resulting in malunion. The patient is currently under active treatment for this complication.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient whose previously nondisplaced right capitate fracture has developed malunion. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the malunion is being addressed, such as through physical therapy, medication management, or surgical planning for corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right wrist" and "capitate bone" to support laterality and anatomical site.
• Confirm the fracture was initially "nondisplaced" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented as the current healing status.
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent care" related to the fracture and its complication, not the initial treatment.
