Nondisp fx of pisiform, r wrist, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the pisiform bone in the right wrist that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing" indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than typically expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right pisiform fracture is exhibiting signs of delayed union or nonunion. It would be used when the physician is monitoring the healing progress, adjusting treatment plans due to slow healing, or considering interventions for delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" or similar terminology for this specific fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the laterality (right wrist) and the specific bone (pisiform) are accurately documented.
