![]() S72.141D: Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing.S72.141C: Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.S72.141B: Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II.S72.141A: Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture.There are separate codes for intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric. Here also, you should consider the type of fracture, laterality and episode of care. Such fractures do not involve the neck of the femur. S72.012N: Unspecified intracapsular fracture of left femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunionĮxtracapsular fractures include intertrochanteric (between the trochanters) and subtrochanteric (distal to the trochanters).S72.012M: Unspecified intracapsular fracture of left femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion.S72.012K: Unspecified intracapsular fracture of left femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion.Some of the ICD-10 codes are given below. You need to choose an appropriate code that reflects the type of fracture (open or closed), laterality (left or right), episode of care (initial, subsequent and sequela) and complications (delayed healing, non-union, malunion). Intercapsular fractures are termed as fractures of the ‘neck of femur’ (NOF) which include fractures below the femoral head (subcapital), across the mid-femoral neck (transcervical) or fractures across the base of the femoral neck (basicervical). There are separate ICD-10 codes for intracapsular and extracapsular fractures. Hip fractures either involve bone enveloped by the ligamentous hip joint capsule (intracapsular) or the bone below the capsule (extracapsular). Apart from the complications in establishing the diagnosis, reporting hip fractures is also challenging with ICD-10 medical coding as it requires more specificity and more details. Sometimes, repeat X-ray, CTs and MRIs may be required to confirm the diagnosis. While many of them are clinically and radiologically obvious, there are fractures more difficult to diagnose. 561 Aftercare, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue without cc/mccĬonvert T84.Fractures of the proximal femur or hip are quite common in elderly, osteoporotic patients.560 Aftercare, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue with cc. ![]() 559 Aftercare, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue with mcc.ICD-10-CM T84.195A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v41.0): Other mechanical complication of internal fixation device of bones of limb Protrusion of internal fixation device of bones of limb.Perforation of internal fixation device of bones of limb.Obstruction (mechanical) of internal fixation device of bones of limb.ventilator associated pneumonia ( J95.851).postsurgical blind-loop syndrome ( K91.2).postmastectomy lymphedema syndrome ( I97.2).functional disturbances following cardiac surgery ( I97.0- I97.1).disorders of fluid and electrolyte imbalance ( E86- E87).cerebrospinal fluid leak from spinal puncture ( G97.0).specified complications classified elsewhere, such as:.poisoning and toxic effects of drugs and chemicals ( T36- T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4 or 6).mechanical complication of respirator ( J95.850).complications of surgical procedures during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium ( O00-O9A).burns and corrosions from local applications and irradiation ( T20- T32).fitting and adjustment of external prosthetic device ( Z44.-).any encounters with medical care for postprocedural conditions in which no complications are present, such as:.
