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

This code describes a left wrist injury involving a non-displaced fracture of the proximal third of the scaphoid bone. The "P" seventh character indicates that the patient is receiving active treatment for a malunion of this fracture, meaning the bone is healing, but in an unsatisfactory position.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a scaphoid fracture of the left wrist that has healed incorrectly. This includes situations where surgical intervention or other active management is being performed to correct the malunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left wrist" and "proximal third" of the scaphoid.
• The "P" seventh character is specific to subsequent encounters for malunion; do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up without malunion.
• Verify the fracture was initially non-displaced.
