Disp fx of middle third of navicular bone of l wrist, init

This code signifies a break in the middle portion of the scaphoid bone, located in the left wrist, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This injury is typically the result of significant force and can lead to pain, swelling, and limited wrist movement.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, displaced fracture of the mid-scaphoid in the left wrist. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

• Confirm laterality (left wrist) and the specific bone segment (middle third of scaphoid).
• Verify documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "closed fracture."
• Ensure this is the initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
