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.
For example, a patient is seen for a follow-up exam for a non-displaced fracture of the capitate on the right wrist with routine healing. Coders would report S62.134D. Coders must also pay attention to the Excludes notes included in this section. ICD-10-CM features two types of Excludes notes, unlike ICD-9-CM.
