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

This code signifies a fracture of the scaphoid bone in the left wrist, specifically in its upper third, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This particular code is used during follow-up care when the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters with a patient who has a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the proximal scaphoid in the left wrist, and the physician's documentation indicates routine healing. This would be appropriate for follow-up appointments where the fracture is being monitored and progressing well.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "proximal third" of the left scaphoid.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the physician's notes indicate "routine healing" to differentiate from delayed or nonunion.
