Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S72.04 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of S72.04 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of base of neck of femur' in more detail.
Midcervical fracture of femur. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.03 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S72.03 - other international versions of ICD-10 S72.03 may differ. Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S72.0.

A femoral neck fracture is a type of hip fracture of the thigh bone (femur)—just below the ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint. This type of fracture disconnects the ball from the rest of the femur. It often causes groin pain that worsens when you putting weight on the injured leg.
Patients with intertrochanteric fractures tend to have more pointed and longer osteophytes compared to those with femoral neck fractures, which can lead to an increased CEA on radiographs of the pelvis or hip joint.
The femoral neck is the most common location for a hip fracture. Your hip is a ball and socket joint where your upper leg meets your pelvis. At the top of your femur (which is your thigh bone) is the femoral head. This is the “ball” that sits in the socket. Just below the femoral head is the femoral neck.
The femoral neck is the region of the femur bounded by the femoral head proximally and the greater and lesser trochanters distally (shown below). A femoral neck fracture is intracapsular, that is within the hip joint and beneath the fibrous joint capsule.
Femoral neck fractures are a specific type of intracapsular hip fracture. The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral head. The hip joint is the articulation of the femoral head with the acetabulum. The junctional location makes the femoral neck prone to fracture.
ICD-10-CM Code for Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture S72. 001A.
A hip fracture is a break in the thighbone (femur) of your hip joint. Joints are areas where two or more bones meet. Your hip joint is a "ball and socket" joint, where your thighbone meets your pelvic bone. The ball part of your hip joint is the head of the thighbone.
Femoral neck osteoporosis occurs where the top of the thigh bone becomes weak and brittle from a loss of bone density. Sex and gender exist on spectrums.
The femoral head connects to the femur via the femoral neck which extends to the femoral shaft. The shaft has a mild anterior arch. Distally, the medial and lateral condyles join the femur to the tibia. The inclination angle is the angle between the femoral shaft and neck.
At some point, you may need physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility to your muscles. Doing your exercises as prescribed can improve your chances for a full recovery. Most femoral fractures take about 4 to 6 months to heal completely, but you should be able to resume many activities before this time.
Femoral neck fractures are generally painful and will prevent you from walking. Any movement of your injured leg typically causes pain.
This is called femoral vascular necrosis or avascular necrosis. This complication may occur depending on the type of fracture and the anatomy of a person's blood supply to the head of the femur bone. This is more common with femoral neck fractures.
How long does it take to recover? A simple break that doesn't affect your spinal cord can be treated with a neck brace worn for six to eight weeks until the bone heals. More complicated breaks can require surgery and other treatments such as a stiff neck brace for up to three months.
A hip fracture is a serious femoral fracture that occurs in the proximal end of the femur (the long bone running through the thigh), near the hip.
