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

This code signifies a fracture of the lower portion of the scaphoid bone in the left wrist that has been confirmed as displaced. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "routine healing" suggests the recovery process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed displaced distal pole scaphoid fracture of the left wrist. It should be used when the fracture is healing routinely, such as during cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing expected callus formation, or physical therapy sessions for uncomplicated recovery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" wrist and "distal pole" of the scaphoid.
• Confirm the fracture was initially displaced and is now in a routine healing phase.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
