306 for Unspecified fracture of fifth metacarpal bone, right hand is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Proximal phalanx fractures can be epiphyseal or shaft fractures and can be intra-articular or extra-articular. They are most often the result of forced rotation, hyperextension or direct trauma 2.
733.82 - Nonunion of fracture.
572A Other intraarticular fracture of lower end of left radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
These are sometimes specifically referred to as the first (thumb), second (index finger), third (middle finger), fourth (ring finger), and fifth (little finger) proximal phalanx.
Proximal phalanx fracture - undisplaced If your proximal phalanx fracture is stable and undisplaced (ie the fragments are still in their normal position) it is unlikely that you will need surgery. Your fracture can be treated with splinting, taping or casting (or a combination of all three of these).
In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
Nonunion and malunion fractures are identified with defective healing: nonunion describes the failure of a fractured bone to heal and mend after an extended period of time; malunion refers to a fracture that has healed in a deformed position, or with shortening or rotation of the limb.
A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed. A fracture not indicated whether displaced or not displaced should be coded to displaced. appropriate 7th character for initial encounter should also be assigned for a patient who delayed seeking treatment for the fracture or nonunion.
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common types of bone fractures. They occur at the end of the radius bone near the wrist. Depending on the angle of the break, distal radius fractures can be classified into two types: Colles or Smith. Falls are the main cause of distal radius fractures.
Proximal phalanx fractures will often be clinically healed 4 weeks status post injury, at which time it is unlikely that the fracture will displace.
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.
Fractures of the proximal phalanx are usually caused by a direct blow to the dorsum of the hand, resulting in a transverse fracture. These fractures are usually unstable. Twisting or torque applied to the proximal phalanx may cause oblique or spiral fractures, which are prone to shortening or malrotation.
The proximal phalanx of the fingers is the proximal, or first bone, in the fingers when counting from the hand to the tip of the finger. There are three phalanges in each finger. The proximal phalanx is the largest of the three bones in each finger; it has joints with the metacarpal and with the middle phalanx.
Note: A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
