S72. 141A - Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
Intertrochanteric fractures are defined as extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur that occur between the greater and lesser trochanter. The intertrochanteric aspect of the femur is located between the greater and lesser trochanters and is composed of dense trabecular bone.
ICD-10-CM S72. 002A 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.
CPT® Code 27245 in section: Treatment of intertrochanteric, peritrochanteric, or subtrochanteric femoral fracture.
Intertrochanteric/Subtrochanteric Hip Fracture Intertrochanteric fractures are the most common of all hip fractures. The fractures are rarely “clean” breaks and usually the bones have fairly significant comminution (fragmentation). They require surgical stabilization for healing.
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 final specific procedural codes for the management of a hip fracture include: ICD-9- 81.51, 81.52; CPT-4- 27125, 27130, 27230, 27232, 27235, 27236, 27246, 27248, 73530. Non-specific procedural codes include: ICD-9- 78.55, 79.05, 79.15, 79.25, 79.35, 79.65; CPT-4- 27238, 27240, 27244, 27245.

Since the op report indicates a nail was used, that would be coded as a 27245. If only plates and/or screws used, such as for a hip pinning, then you would use 27244. Intramedullary implants are placed on an instrument and mallet used to place it in the canal and then screws used to fixate the nail in place.
comminuted fracture, in which your bone is broken or crushed into three or more pieces. compression fracture, in which your bone collapses under pressure. nondisplaced fracture, in which your bone breaks into pieces that stay in their normal alignment.
All the intertrochanteric fractures healed on average 70.5 days (range 31-213 days) after operation. The fractures resulting from vehicular trauma or fall from a height healed significantly more slowly (p = 0.02, univariant log-rank test).
Intertrochanteric fractures are treated surgically with either a sliding compression hip screw and side plate or an intramedullary nail. The compression hip screw is fixed to the outer side of the bone with bone screws. A large secondary screw (lag screw) is placed through the plate into the femoral head and neck.
Depending on health and injury pattern this bone can take 3-4 months to heal without surgery. Physical therapy for hip and knee range of motion is started around 6 weeks once bone has healed enough to prevent displacement with motion.
The intertrochanteric area can also be seen as the area where the femur changes from an essentially vertical bone to a bone angling at a 45° angle from the near-vertical to the acetabulum or pelvis.
