2011 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 815.00 : Closed fracture of metacarpal bone(s) site unspecified.
A metacarpal fracture. Is a break in one of the five metacarpal bones of either hand. Are categorized as being fractures of the head, neck, shaft, and base (from distal at the metacarpal phalangeal joint to proximal. at the wrist).
Fractures are “breaks” or “cracks” in the bone, usually due to trauma. In severe injuries, multiple metacarpals can be fractured. The fifth metacarpal (the one that attaches to the small finger) is especially susceptible to fracture when punching objects with a closed fist, hence the nickname “Boxer's Fracture”.
ICD-9 Code 816.00 -Closed fracture of phalanx or phalanges of hand unspecified- Codify by AAPC.
metacarpal, any of several tubular bones between the wrist (carpal) bones and each of the forelimb digits in land vertebrates, corresponding to the metatarsal bones of the foot.
The metacarpals are defined as long bones as they posses a tubular shaft with proximal (base) and distal (head) synovial articular extremities.
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.
The third metacarpal (3rd metacarpal) is the bone associated with the middle finger, forming the palm of the human hand along with the other four metacarpals. It is the second longest metacarpal, and like the others, has a head, body or shaft, and base.
Second metacarpal bone The metacarpal bone 2 is the one with the largest base and the longest shaft. Its base shows several areas for the articulations with the carpal bones; A groove in the coronal plane via which it articulates with the trapezoid bone.
Metacarpal fractures account for 40% of all hand fractures. [1] A Boxer's fracture is a fracture of the fifth metacarpal neck, named for the classic mechanism of injury in which direct trauma is applied to a clenched fist. This represents 10% of all hand fractures.
The fourth metacarpal bone (metacarpal bone of the ring finger) is shorter and smaller than the third. Fourth metacarpal bone. Fourth metacarpal of the left hand (shown in red). Palmar view.
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 fracture - undisplaced Your fracture can be treated with splinting, taping or casting (or a combination of all three of these). Generally a cast is only used for treating metacarpal fractures for children or individuals who will not be able to keep their fingers safely immobilised with a splint.
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.
In many cases, a hand fracture will heal well with nonsurgical treatment. Depending on the type and location of the fracture, this may include wearing a cast, splint or buddy straps for a period of time.
