Disp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of l wrs, 7thD

This code describes a fracture located in the middle portion of the scaphoid bone in the left wrist that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The "D" seventh character indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced mid-scaphoid fracture of the left wrist. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing routinely, and the patient is not experiencing any delayed union, nonunion, or malunion.

• Ensure the laterality (left wrist) and specific bone (scaphoid/navicular) are accurately documented.
• Verify that the "D" seventh character is appropriate for routine healing in a subsequent encounter.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or encounters for delayed/nonunion (K, P, S).
