ICD-10 code S62. 304A for Unspecified fracture of fourth metacarpal bone, right hand, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S62. 329B: Displaced fracture of shaft of unspecified metacarpal bone, initial encounter for open fracture.
Boxer fracture is another name for a fracture of the fourth or fifth metacarpal, one of the most common metacarpal fractures. The mechanisms of these injuries vary from axial loading forces to direct blows to the dorsal hand.
The pull of the interossei muscles and flexor tendons can deform shaft fractures leading to metacarpal shortening or angulation. Metacarpal neck fractures are the most common type of metacarpal fracture. Such a fracture seen in the 5th (or rarely, the 4th) metacarpal neck is called a "boxer's fracture" (Figure 4).
Displaced fracture of epiphysis (separation) (upper) of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II. S72. 023B is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.
Comminuted fractures are a type of broken bone. The term comminuted fracture refers to a bone that is broken in at least two places. Comminuted fractures are caused by severe traumas like car accidents. You will need surgery to repair your bone, and recovery can take a year or longer.
metacarpal bone of the ring fingerThe Fourth Metacarpal Bone (os metacarpale IV; metacarpal bone of the ring finger) is shorter and smaller than the third. The base is small and quadrilateral; its superior surface presents two facets, a large one medially for articulation with the hamate, and a small one laterally for the capitate.
Each metacarpal bone consists of a body or shaft, and two extremities: the head at the distal or digital end (near the fingers), and the base at the proximal or carpal end (close to the wrist).
Displaced fractures: A gap forms where the bone breaks. Often, this injury requires surgery to fix. Partial fractures: The break doesn't go all the way through the bone. Stress fractures: The bone gets a crack in it, which is sometimes tough to find with imaging.
Treatment of metacarpal fractures and dislocations is primarily nonoperative. Management usually consists of sedation or local anesthesia, followed by closed reduction of the fracture or dislocation. A forearm-based splint is then applied and held in place with a loose compressive wrap.
The proximal row of carpal bones (moving from radial to ulnar) are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform, while the distal row of carpal bones (also from radial to ulnar) comprises the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
The bases of the metacarpal bones are wide and they articulate with the bones of the distal carpal row via the carpometacarpal joints; The first metacarpal articulates with the trapezium. The second metacarpal articulates with the trapezium, trapezoid and capitate. The third articulates with the capitate.
Most of the healing happens between three to six weeks but can take several months for your full symptoms to settle completely. In addition, once the fracture has healed you may have a permanent 'bump' where the bone was fractured.
Metacarpal fractures usually take about six to eight weeks to heal. You'll probably have to wear a splint as part of your treatment. It covers part of your fingers and both sides of your hand and wrist, and you'll most likely wear it for around three weeks. You may also undergo physical therapy.
Treatment of metacarpal fractures and dislocations is primarily nonoperative. Management usually consists of sedation or local anesthesia, followed by closed reduction of the fracture or dislocation. A forearm-based splint is then applied and held in place with a loose compressive wrap.
You have a fracture (break) in one or more of these bones. This is called a hand (or metacarpal) fracture. Some hand fractures require wearing a splint or a cast. Some need to be repaired with surgery.
