S62.014 Nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist

ICD-10-CM S62.014: Nondisplaced fracture of distal pole of navicular [scaphoid] bone of right wrist

ICD-10-CM code S62.014 represents a nondisplaced fracture of the distal pole of the navicular, or scaphoid, bone of the right wrist. The scaphoid is a carpal bone with proximal and distal poles. This specific diagnosis code is an active terminology concept within the ICD-10-CM version 2026 system. 1 2

Plain-language overview

Code S62.014 identifies a nondisplaced fracture of the distal pole of the navicular, also called the scaphoid, bone located in the right wrist, providing a specific diagnosis label for this particular injury. 1

The scaphoid is the largest of the eight carpal bones and features a structure with proximal and distal poles separated by a central waist, which is relevant to understanding wrist anatomy. 2

What this code represents

The terminology record classifies S62.014 with the semantic type of Injury or Poisoning and lists its parent concept as S62.01, the fracture of the distal pole of the navicular bone of the wrist. 1

Code S62.014 is an active concept in the ICD-10-CM version 2026 terminology and has no narrower child concepts within the hierarchy of this specific coding system. 1

Coding details

The broader category S62.01 includes distinct codes for displaced and nondisplaced fractures of the navicular bone, with separate specifications for right, left, and unspecified wrists. 3

Documentation considerations

An official published abbreviation for S62.014 is nondisp fx of distal pole of navicular bone of right wrist, which serves as an alternative terminology representation for this diagnosis. 1

Clinical context

Clinical literature indicates that nondisplaced fractures within the distal third of the scaphoid can be managed non-operatively with immobilization in a cast, though debate exists regarding optimal casting methods. 2

What the sources add

While the official terminology record defines the exact code and hierarchy for S62.014, the clinical literature provides anatomical context about the scaphoid bone and management options for distal fractures. 1 2

A coding reference for the parent category S62.01 lists the specific variations of navicular bone fractures, confirming that S62.014 distinguishes the nondisplaced right wrist injury from displaced and left wrist variants. 3 1
