S62.024Nondisplaced fracture of middle third of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist

S62.024 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nondisplaced fracture of middle third of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right 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 S62.02 (fracture of middle third of navicular [scaphoid] bone of wrist), S62.024 is specifically for nondisplaced fracture of middle third of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist.
