Nondisp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of r wrs, 7thB

This code signifies a break in the middle section of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the skin and soft tissue overlying the fracture site were compromised, exposing the bone to the outside environment, and this is the patient's first time receiving treatment for this injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, open, nondisplaced fracture of the right scaphoid's middle third. This would be appropriate for initial treatment, such as wound debridement, fracture reduction, or surgical fixation.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "open fracture" and "initial encounter" for this specific injury.
• Verify the fracture location is the "middle third" of the scaphoid and laterality is "right wrist."
• Do not use this code for subsequent encounters or for closed fractures.
