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

Nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of left wrist, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the distal pole of the scaphoid bone in the left wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters with a patient who has a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced distal scaphoid fracture of the left wrist. It should be used when the provider documents routine healing and the patient is not experiencing delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal pole" of the scaphoid.
The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
Confirm the laterality is "left wrist" as specified by the code.
