Nondisp fx of body of hamate bone, l wrist, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the main part of the hamate bone in the left wrist that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is classified as an open fracture, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site. This code is specifically for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a non-displaced fracture of the left hamate body, and the injury is an open fracture. This is appropriate for the first encounter where definitive treatment for this specific injury is provided. Do not use for subsequent care or sequelae.

• Verify laterality (left wrist) and the specific bone (hamate body) are clearly documented.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and "open."
• Ensure this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific fracture, not a follow-up.
