Disp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of r wrs, 7thK

This code signifies a right wrist injury involving a scaphoid fracture located in the middle portion of the bone, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the "nonunion" specifies that the bone is failing to heal despite treatment.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the middle third of the right scaphoid bone. This is appropriate when the physician has determined that the fracture has not united and is actively managing this complication, such as considering further intervention or monitoring healing progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" of the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "middle third" of the right scaphoid and is "displaced."
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
