Nondisp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of l wrs, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture in the central portion of the scaphoid bone in the left wrist that has not shifted from its original position, and is currently healing with an imperfect alignment. This malunion indicates that the bone fragments have joined, but in a position that is not anatomically correct, potentially leading to functional impairment.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left scaphoid fracture, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has healed with malunion. This is appropriate for ongoing management, evaluation of complications, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left wrist" and "middle third" of the scaphoid.
• Verify that the encounter is for a "subsequent encounter" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented.
• Distinguish from nonunion (failure to heal) or delayed union (healing slowly but correctly).
