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

This code signifies a fracture of the hook-shaped projection of the hamate bone in the left wrist that is out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture has not healed properly and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for this nonunion.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed displaced left hamate hook fracture that has failed to unite. This includes visits for continued conservative management, evaluation for surgical intervention, or post-operative care for nonunion repair.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "nonunion" for the left hamate hook fracture.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
• Always confirm laterality (left wrist) is explicitly documented.
