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

This code signifies a fracture in the upper portion of the scaphoid bone in the left wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced proximal scaphoid fracture of the left wrist is receiving routine follow-up care. This includes appointments where the physician is monitoring healing progress, such as cast changes or repeat imaging showing expected bone union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "proximal third" of the scaphoid.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing, not for complications or initial treatment.
• Laterality (left wrist) is crucial for accurate code selection.
