Nondisp fx of dist pole of navic bone of r wrs, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the distal pole of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist that is not displaced. The patient is in the healing phase of the fracture, and the healing process is progressing routinely without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal scaphoid fracture of the right wrist. It should be used when the fracture is healing as expected and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal pole" for accurate coding.
• Verify the encounter is for routine follow-up during the healing phase, not initial treatment or treatment for complications.
• Confirm laterality (right wrist) is clearly documented.
