ICD-10-CM S62.333S: Displaced fracture of neck of third metacarpal bone, left hand, sequela

ICD-10-CM code S62.333S identifies a sequela of a displaced fracture of the neck of the third metacarpal bone in the left hand. The terminology is active and classified under the semantic type of Injury or Poisoning. General clinical literature notes metacarpal fractures frequently result from direct trauma to the hand. 1 2

Plain-language overview

Code S62.333S is an active terminology concept representing a sequela following a displaced fracture of the neck of the third metacarpal bone in the left hand. 1

What this code represents

The semantic type assigned to S62.333S is Injury or Poisoning, and its parent concept is S62.333, the displaced fracture of the neck of the third metacarpal bone of the left hand. 1

The official published abbreviation for S62.333S is disp fx of neck of third metacarpal bone, left hand, sequela, and the terminology record indicates it has narrower concepts. 1

Clinical context

Metacarpal fractures commonly occur from direct trauma, as the bones are superficial, and these injuries account for approximately forty percent of all hand injuries. 2

Metacarpal neck fractures often result from a combination of axial load with a slight flexion moment, which causes the neck to fracture and displace volarly. 2

Coding details

Code S62.333S is distinct from S62.332S, which describes a displaced fracture of the neck of the third metacarpal bone in the right hand sequela, and S62.363S, a nondisplaced left third metacarpal neck fracture sequela. 4

Documentation considerations

The official terminology record for S62.333S specifies the left hand, the third metacarpal bone, the neck location, a displaced fracture, and a sequela encounter within its preferred name. 1

What the sources add

While the terminology record establishes the code definition and hierarchical parent, the clinical literature provides operational context regarding the general trauma mechanisms and axial loading forces that cause metacarpal neck fractures. 1 2

The terminology portal confirms the preferred name and Injury or Poisoning semantic type for S62.333S, while the code tree listing distinguishes it from adjacent left hand metacarpal shaft and base fracture sequelae. 3 4
