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

This code describes a fracture of the scaphoid bone in the middle of the left wrist that has not shifted out of place. It specifically indicates that the fracture is not healing properly, despite ongoing treatment. This condition often leads to persistent pain and functional limitations.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced mid-scaphoid fracture of the left wrist, and there is documented evidence of nonunion. This applies when the fracture fragments have failed to unite after the expected healing period, and the patient is still receiving care for this specific complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "middle third" of the scaphoid bone.
• Verify laterality (left wrist) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
• Confirm that the encounter is for ongoing management of the nonunion, not initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture.
