Disp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of r wrs, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the middle portion of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist that has healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. The fracture was displaced at the time of injury, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. This specific code is used for follow-up care after initial treatment, where the malunion is being addressed or monitored.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously treated, displaced right scaphoid fracture (middle third) that has subsequently healed in a misaligned position. This includes visits for physical therapy, imaging to assess the malunion, or discussions regarding surgical correction of the malunion. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment phase where the malunion is the primary focus.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "middle third" of the scaphoid.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" to the initial fracture treatment, not the initial injury.
• Confirm the laterality is "right" and the fracture was "displaced."
