S62. 0 - Fracture of navicular [scaphoid] bone of wrist | ICD-10-CM.
Scapholunate (SL) dissociation is part of a spectrum of traumatic carpal bone instabilities and is defined as disruption of the ligamentous complex holding the scaphoid and lunate together.1 The SL ligament complex consists of the volar, dorsal, and intermediate components, with the dorsal component being the strongest ...
The scapholunate joint is a small joint between two carpal bones at the wrist crease, namely the scaphoid and lunate bones. The scapholunate joint is very important for the stability of the wrist joint. It is often injured during sport, for example, if you fall heavily onto your hand.
Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) is a characteristic degenerative clinical wrist condition of progressive deformity, instability, and arthritis that affects the radiocarpal and mid-carpal joints of the wrist.
A SLAC reconstruction involves excision of the scaphoid and arthrodesis of the capitate, lunate, hamate, and triquetrum. Two parallel dorsal transverse incisions, a lazy S incision, or a central longitudinal incision over the distal radiocarpal joint and styloid process is made.
Imaging tests such as X-ray, MRI or CT-scans may be ordered for a detailed evaluation of scapholunate ligament injury and other soft tissue structures surrounding the wrist and to also find out the severity of SLAC wrist in relation to stage I, stage II, or stage III.
S69.92XAICD-10 Code for Unspecified injury of left wrist, hand and finger(s), initial encounter- S69. 92XA- Codify by AAPC.
The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones on the thumb side of the wrist, just above the radius. The bone is important for both motion and stability in the wrist joint. The word "scaphoid" comes from the Greek term for "boat." The scaphoid bone resembles a boat with its relatively long, curved shape.

De Quervain’s disease (radial styloid tenosynovitis) is an inflammation of the first dorsal extensor compartment; this is entrapment tendinitis causing tendon thickening, which leads to restricted motion and a grinding sensation with tendon movement (crepitus).

In the CPT® book, 28400 and 28405 are used when coding a calcaneal fracture. What is the difference between these two codes?
In the CPT® codebook, 25000 and 25001 are for incisions in the tendon sheath on the wrist. Code 25000 is for the extensor tendon and 25001 is for the flexor tendon sheath. What is the difference between extension and flexion?
PROCEDURE: Application of a uniplane fixation and closed reduction of left distal radial fracture under fluoroscopy. (This is the working procedure until the report is read.)
Julia tripped and fell down three stairs in her apartment. X-rays show a fracture of the metatarsal bone of her left great toe, and the physician treats the fracture with a special orthotic boot. What procedure code is reported?
D) Extension causes the wrist to move backward by rotating; flexion causes the wrist to move forward by rotating.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
A scaphoid fracture, a fracture of the scaphoid bone also known as the carpal navicular, is the most common type of carpal bone fracture. Scaphoid fractures usually cause pain at the base of the thumb accompanied by swelling in the same area.
