Disp fx of pisiform, left wrist, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a left wrist injury involving a broken pisiform bone that has shifted from its normal position. The patient is currently in a phase of recovery where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced pisiform fracture of the left wrist who is experiencing delayed union. This includes encounters for cast changes, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of the healing process when the fracture is not progressing as anticipated.

• Always confirm the laterality (left wrist) and the displaced nature of the fracture.
• Ensure "delayed healing" is clearly documented by the provider to support the "G" seventh character.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
