Nondisp fx of dist pole of navic bone of r wrs, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the distal pole of the right scaphoid bone that has not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion" indicates that the fracture has failed to heal properly after an initial treatment period, and the patient is being seen for ongoing management of this complication.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced distal scaphoid fracture of the right wrist that has not united. This includes scenarios such as continued immobilization, evaluation for surgical intervention due to nonunion, or monitoring of a nonunion. It should not be used for the initial diagnosis or for fractures that have healed.

• Always confirm laterality (right wrist) and the specific bone (scaphoid/navicular) and location (distal pole).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for this specific subsequent encounter code.
• Distinguish from malunion (improper healing) or routine follow-up of a healing fracture.
