Disp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of unsp wrs, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture located in the middle portion of the scaphoid bone within an unspecified wrist, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. The "D" in the code indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for a fracture that is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent visits for patients with a previously diagnosed displaced mid-scaphoid fracture of an unspecified wrist who are progressing through a routine healing phase. This includes appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or clinical assessments confirming uncomplicated recovery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "middle third" of the scaphoid for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character is only for subsequent encounters where healing is routine; use "A" for initial encounters and "G," "K," "P," or "S" for delayed healing or complications.
• Laterality (left or right wrist) is unspecified with this code; if known, a more specific code should be chosen.
