Disp fx of hook pro of hamate bone, l wrs, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the hook-shaped projection on the hamate bone in the left wrist that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of healing, where the fracture is not progressing as expected.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed displaced left hamate hook fracture, where the healing process is prolonged or complicated. This would include scenarios such as continued pain, non-union concerns, or delayed callus formation observed on imaging during a subsequent visit.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left wrist" for the hamate hook fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for "delayed healing" and not initial treatment or routine follow-up for a healed fracture.
• Always review the full encounter documentation to confirm the laterality and the specific healing status.
