This code signifies a break in the main part of the hamate bone in the right wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the skin over the fracture site was broken, exposing the bone, and this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the body of the right hamate bone. This is appropriate for the initial surgical or medical management of such an injury.

• Confirm documentation specifies "body" of the hamate and "right" wrist.
• Ensure the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "open."
• Verify this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture to use the "B" seventh character.
