Disp fx of dist pole of navic bone of r wrs, 7thD

Displaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the distal pole of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist that has been previously diagnosed and is now in a phase of routine healing. The fracture fragments are not in their normal anatomical alignment.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a displaced right scaphoid distal pole fracture that is healing without complications. This includes routine cast changes, follow-up X-rays confirming expected healing, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "distal pole" of the scaphoid.
The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
Confirm the laterality is "right" as specified by the code.
