2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S52. 501A: Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
The Bennett fracture is the most common fracture involving the base of the thumb. This fracture refers to an intraarticular fracture that separates the palmar ulnar aspect of the first metacarpal base from the remaining first metacarpal.
Injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers ICD-10-CM S60. 949A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
92XA for Unspecified injury of left wrist, hand and finger(s), initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
First Metacarpal Joint/bone The first metacarpal bone is associated with the thumb. The joints between the carpals and the metacarpals are known as carpometacarpal joints. The joints between the metacarpals and the proximal phalanges are known a metacarpophalangeal joints.
Bennett's fracture is a break of the lower part of the first metacarpal bone. The fracture is often displaced. This means that the first metacarpal no longer sits correctly in the joint.

The Bennett fracture is named after Edward Hallaran Bennett, Professor of Surgery (1837–1907) at Trinity College of the University of Dublin, who described it in 1882.
A Bennett's fracture occurs when the metacarpal bone in the thumb breaks and dislocates at the base of the thumb. Forces that impact the bent thumb cause this injury. Bennett's fractures can result from any significant forces placed on the base of the thumb, such as sports, falls and accidents.
Treatment of Bennett's Fracture. “Reduction” means pulling the bones back into place. This can be done “Closed” in which no cut is made and a plaster or splint is applied or “Open” where a cut is performed and the bones are directly repositioned. An open reduction often requires the use of wires, plates and screws.
Bennett's fracture is caused due to a direct blow to the bent thumb during contact sports or martial arts. Trauma and falling on an outstretched thumb can also cause the fracture.
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.
Bennett fracture is a fracture of the base of the first metacarpal bone which extends into the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This intra-articular fracture is the most common type of fracture of the thumb, and is nearly always accompanied by some degree of subluxation or frank dislocation of the carpometacarpal joint.
