Anatomical Parts The index finger, (also referred to as forefinger, pointer finger, trigger finger, digitus secundus, digitus II, and many other terms), is the first finger and the second digit of a human hand. It is located between the first and third digits, between the thumb and the middle finger.
Trigger finger is also known as stenosing tenosynovitis (stuh-NO-sing ten-o-sin-o-VIE-tis). It occurs when inflammation narrows the space within the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger. If trigger finger is severe, your finger may become locked in a bent position.

A painful disability in the hand affecting the finger or thumb. It is caused by mechanical impingement of the digital flexor tendons as they pass through a narrowed retinacular pulley at the level of the metacarpal head. Thickening of the sheath and fibrocartilaginous metaplasia can occur, and nodules can form. (from green's operative hand surgery, 5th ed, p2137-58)

The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
If you've ever gotten a splinter or had sand in your eye, you've had experience with a foreign body. A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
Note that ICD-9 was adopted in 1999 for reporting mortality, but ICD-9-CM remains the data standard for reporting morbidity. Revisions of the ICD-9 have progressed to incorporate both clinical code (ICD-9-CM) and procedure code (ICD-9-PCS) with the revisions completed in 2003. However, ICD-9 has not been phased out by the new revision.
The International Classification of Diseases is published by the World Health Organization (WHO). The ICD is used world-wide for morbidity and mortality statistics, reimbursement systems (insurance, Medicare, etc.) and automated decision support in medicine. This system is designed to promote international comparability in the collection, processing, classification, and presentation of medical statistics.
