Disp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of unsp wrs, 7thG

This code describes a fracture located in the middle portion of the navicular (scaphoid) bone within the wrist, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters with a patient who has a previously diagnosed displaced mid-third scaphoid fracture and is experiencing delayed union. This includes situations where imaging confirms persistent fracture lines or insufficient callus formation at a point when healing should be more advanced.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "middle third" of the scaphoid.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the physician's assessment of "delayed healing" is explicitly documented.
