Nondisp fx of proximal third of navic bone of l wrist, init

This code signifies a break in the upper portion of the scaphoid bone in the left wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. The scaphoid is a crucial carpal bone for wrist stability and motion.

Apply this code for initial encounters when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the proximal third of the left scaphoid bone, and the skin over the fracture is intact. This typically occurs following a fall onto an outstretched hand.

• Confirm the fracture location is specifically the proximal third of the scaphoid.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as nondisplaced.
• Ensure the encounter is the initial treatment for a closed fracture.
