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.
As they are not the same for both wounds, it is necessary to report each wound separately. For the neck wound, the correct code is found in the ICD-9-CM index under the main term âwound, openâ and the subterms âneckâ and âcomplicatedâ which reference code 874.9. When category 874 is referenced in the tabular listing of ICD-9-CM, there are several codes for open wound of neck.
