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

This code signifies a fracture of the scaphoid bone in the middle third, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. It specifically indicates that the fracture has failed to heal after an initial treatment, and the patient is presenting for ongoing management of this nonunion.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a displaced mid-scaphoid fracture that has progressed to a nonunion, and the patient is seen for follow-up care related to this persistent fracture. This includes visits for continued conservative management, evaluation for surgical intervention, or post-operative care for a nonunion repair.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is the "middle third" of the scaphoid and that it is "displaced."
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
