Distal pole: The end of your scaphoid closest to your hand and fingers (pointing away from your forearm). Waist of the scaphoid: The middle part of your scaphoid. More than 70% of scaphoid fractures occur in the waist. Proximal pole: The end of your scaphoid closest to your forearm (pointing in toward your body).

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 ICD-10-CM code Z46. 89 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like problem with fiberglass cast, problem with immobilizing cast or problem with plaster of paris cast. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. The code Z46.
A malunion occurs when a fractured bone heals in an abnormal position, which can lead to impaired function of the bone or limb and make it look like it is 'bent'. Similarly, a nonunion is the result of a fractured bone failing to heal after an extended period of time – in some cases over a period of 9 to 12 months.
Subsequent encounter (D) is used for encounters after the patient has received active treatment of the injury and is receiving routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase (e.g., cast change or removal, an x-ray to check healing status of fracture, removal of external or internal fixation device, ...
carpal bonesYour wrist is made up of eight small bones called the carpal bones, or the carpus. These irregularly shaped bones join your hand to the two long forearm bones: the radius and ulna. The carpal bones are small square, oval, and triangular bones. The cluster of carpal bones in the wrist makes it both strong and flexible.
The distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures of the wrist. It usually occurs when people fall on an outstretched hand.
The scaphoid's position on the side of your wrist and relatively large size make it vulnerable to injury and fracture. In fact, it's the most frequently fractured carpal bone, accounting for about 70 percent of carpal fractures.

A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Use wrist guards, when doing sports that put you at risk for wrist injuries
The open fracture designations in the assignment of the 7th character for fractures of the forearm, femur and lower leg, including ankle are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification. When the Gustilo classification type is not specified for an open fracture, the 7th character for open fracture type I or II should be assigned (B, E, H, M, Q).
The symptoms of a wrist problem can vary, depending on the problem. A common symptom is wrist pain. Some other possible symptoms include swelling, a decrease in wrist strength, and sudden numbness or tingling.
