Nondisp fx of body of hamate bone, r wrs, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the hamate bone in the right wrist that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right hamate fracture. It should be used when the physician documents routine healing and the patient is not experiencing any new complications related to the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right wrist" for the hamate fracture.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify the hamate bone is specifically identified, as other carpal bone fractures have different codes.
