Nondisp fx of distal pole of navicular bone of r wrist, init

This code signifies a break in the distal pole of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. This injury is considered a closed fracture, meaning the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right scaphoid's distal pole. This includes scenarios such as emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or primary care evaluations following the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "distal pole" and "right wrist" for accurate coding.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "closed."
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for this specific fracture.
