S62.016Nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of unspecified wrist

S62.016 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of unspecified wrist. It belongs to category S62 (fracture at wrist and hand level), block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S62.01, choose S62.016 (Nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of unspecified wrist) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: displaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist (S62.011), displaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of left wrist (S62.012), displaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of unspecified wrist (S62.013), nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist (S62.014) and nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of left wrist (S62.015).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion, P for subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion and 1 more. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
