Disp fx of navicular of left foot, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a left foot navicular (scaphoid) bone fracture that is no longer in its anatomical alignment and has failed to heal properly. This specific encounter is for ongoing management of this nonunion.

Use this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, or other treatments related to a previously diagnosed displaced navicular fracture of the left foot that has not united. This applies when the patient is receiving care for the persistent nonunion, not for the initial injury or routine healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "left foot" and "navicular" or "scaphoid."
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and "nonunion."
• This "K" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with nonunion.
