ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of middle third of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture in the middle portion of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a phase of recovery where the bone is healing, but at a slower than expected rate.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right scaphoid fracture that was initially nondisplaced, and the physician notes delayed union during the healing process. This would be used for subsequent visits after the initial treatment, indicating ongoing management of the fracture.
