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

This code signifies a fracture of the hook of the hamate bone in the left wrist that is not displaced. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the "nonunion" specifies that the bone fragments have failed to heal together properly.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment for a left hamate hook fracture where the bone has not united. It would be used for office visits, physical therapy sessions, or surgical consultations related to addressing the nonunion of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "left wrist" and "hamate hook" to support laterality and specific bone.
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented by the provider.
• Pair with appropriate procedure codes for any interventions performed to address the nonunion.
