Nondisp fx of prox 3rd of navic bone of r wrs, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist, specifically in its upper third, that has not shifted out of alignment. The key aspect here is that the fracture is in a healing phase, but the bone is uniting incorrectly, leading to a malunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced proximal scaphoid fracture of the right wrist, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the bone fragments are healing in an abnormal position. This would include situations where surgical intervention or other treatments are being considered or performed to address the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" for a subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture location is the "proximal third" of the scaphoid and on the "right" wrist.
• Distinguish from nonunion (S62.034N) or routine healing (S62.034D, S62.034G, S62.034K, S62.034S).
