2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S62. 329B: Displaced fracture of shaft of unspecified metacarpal bone, initial encounter for open fracture.
602B for Fracture of unspecified phalanx of right middle finger, initial encounter for open fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
A phalanx is any bone of the fingers or toes. A phalanx fracture is a crack or complete break in one of these bones. A phalanx fracture can happen when your finger or toe is hit, pulled, jammed, crushed, or twisted. It is also possible for a tumor or cyst to weaken the bone, causing it to break easily when injured.
ICD-9 Code 816.00 -Closed fracture of phalanx or phalanges of hand unspecified- Codify by AAPC.
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.
Pathophysiology. Phalanx fractures displace according to the level at which the fracture occurs due to the eloquent soft tissue and tendon involvement of the phalanx. Distal Phalanx. Distal phalanx fractures are usually nondisplaced or comminuted fractures. They classify into tuft (tip), shaft, or articular injuries.
"Phalanges" is the plural form of phalanx. In anatomy, it refers collectively to the digital (finger and toe) bones in the hands and feet. There are 56 phalanx bones in the human body. The big toe (known as the hallux) and the thumb each have two phalanges, while the other fingers and toes each have three.
Fractures in adults In adults, a closed fracture at the base of the distal phalanx is best treated by splinting the distal and middle phalanges with the distal interphalangeal joint extended for a minimum of 4 weeks.
Treatment consists of open reduction and internal fixation of the intra-articular fracture with reinsertion of the profundus tendon. For fractures of the middle phalanx, if conservative treatment is not sufficient, then percutaneous pinning or open reduction using K-wires is used.
Proximal phalanx fractures will often be clinically healed 4 weeks status post injury, at which time it is unlikely that the fracture will displace. A method of qualifying this is lack of discomfort when direct manual pressure is applied to the injured bone.
Some distal phalanx fractures require surgery and some don't. Fractures affecting the distal phalanx generally result from a crush injury, such as getting your fingertip caught in a door, or dropping a heavy weight on it.
Displaced fracture of proximal phalanx of finger 1 S62.61 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S62.61 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S62.61 - other international versions of ICD-10 S62.61 may differ.
