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

Nondisplaced fracture of middle third of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture located in the middle portion of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing routinely without complications.

🎯When to Use

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced right scaphoid waist fracture is being monitored for routine healing. It indicates that the fracture is stable and mending as expected, without the need for additional intervention or management of complications.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "middle third" of the scaphoid.
The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
Verify the laterality (right wrist) is clearly documented.
