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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture in the middle portion of the navicular (scaphoid) bone in their left wrist. The fracture was not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remained in their anatomical alignment, and the healing process is progressing routinely.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left scaphoid fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, removal, or imaging to assess ongoing bone consolidation without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left wrist" and "nondisplaced" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use "A" for initial treatment or "G" for delayed healing.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically in the "middle third" of the navicular bone.
