What is a Femur Fracture? A femur fracture is a break in the femur bone, the leg bone that extends from the hip down to the knee joint. Since the femur is one of the largest and strongest bones in the human body, it is not a common break and usually occurs only after a serious trauma like a car accident or sporting injury.
Distal Humerus Fracture (Broken Elbow) (Left) The elbow bones. The "distal humerus" is the lower end of the humerus (upper arm bone). (Right) The major nerves and ligaments of the elbow are highlighted. A distal humerus fracture is a break in the lower end of the upper arm bone (humerus), one of the three bones that come together to form the ...
Unspecified fracture of shaft of unspecified femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 309A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.
The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft. When there is a break anywhere along this length of bone, it is called a femoral shaft fracture. This type of broken leg almost always requires surgery to heal. The femoral shaft runs from below the hip to where the bone begins to widen at the knee.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S72. 92XA became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S72.
Unspecified fracture of unspecified femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 90XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.
Distal femur fractures can be closed — meaning the skin is intact — or can be open. An open fracture is when a bone breaks in such a way that bone fragments stick out through the skin or a wound penetrates down to the broken bone.
The 2016 to 2017 ACS-NSQIP database files were queried using CPT codes, and ICD-10 diagnosis codes to identify patients undergoing surgery for native femoral shaft fractures (CPT-27506) and/or repair of nonunion of femoral shaft fractures with/without graft (CPT-27470, CPT-27472).

The femur is your thigh bone. It's the longest, strongest bone in your body. It's a critical part of your ability to stand and move.
ICD-10-CM S72. 001A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 521 Hip replacement with principal diagnosis of hip fracture with mcc. 522 Hip replacement with principal diagnosis of hip fracture without mcc.
Proximal femur includes the femoral head, neck and the region 5-cm distal to the lesser trochanter. There is a 125°–130° inclination angle between the head and neck and the femoral body. Further, there is a 15° anteversion angle between the plane passing through the condyles of the femoral head and the femur neck.
When you pick unknown it means your doctor has no idea what bone is broken or just says generic "wrist fracture".
