Jim Irsay: Andrew Luck recovering from shoulder surgery. Colts owner Jim Irsay was back on Twitter Thursday morning, but he still isnât discussing anything having to do with coach Chuck Pagano or General Manager Ryan Grigson.
In ICD-9-CM, fractures of the fingers are found in the index under âFracture, phalanx, hand,â and then specified open or closed with the site. In ICD-10-CM, fracture of the thumb has a separate index entry, which is further divided into distal or proximal phalanx and displaced or nondisplaced fracture.
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. These injuries are often associated with injury to the nail bed or the nail, which may require surgery in itself.
