Nondisp fx of navic of unsp foot, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the navicular bone in an unspecified foot that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is exhibiting delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to unite.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced navicular fracture of an unknown foot is still experiencing incomplete healing. This would include scenarios where imaging continues to show a fracture line or callus formation is progressing slowly.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the navicular fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is nondisplaced and the specific foot is not documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
