Disp fx of prox 3rd of navic bone of r wrs, 7thD

This code signifies a displaced fracture located in the upper third of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist. The "D" seventh character indicates that the patient is in the healing phase following initial treatment, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced right scaphoid fracture (proximal third) is presenting for routine monitoring of healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing expected callus formation, or general assessment of recovery during the typical healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "proximal third" of the right scaphoid.
• The "D" seventh character is appropriate only after initial active treatment has concluded and the patient is in the recovery phase.
• Verify laterality (right wrist) is clearly documented to avoid coding errors.
