In this case, report ICD-10-CM codes S72. 402A (Unspecified fracture of lower end of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture) as the principal/first listed diagnosis followed by M97. 02XA (Periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left hip joint, initial encounter) as a secondary diagnosis.

What is a Periprosthetic distal femur fracture?

A periprosthetic distal femur fracture is a fracture close to a knee implant. This type of fracture is often difficult to fix because of the close proximity of the two surgical implants which can sometimes interfere with proper bone healing.

What is the ICD-10 PCS code for hip replacement?

Replacement of Left Hip Joint with Ceramic on Polyethylene Synthetic Substitute, Open Approach. ICD-10-PCS 0SRB04Z is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.

What is the ICD code for hip replacement?

The goal of replacement surgery is to relieve pain and restore mobility and function of the damaged hip joint. In a total hip replacement (ICD-9-CM code 81.51), the femoral head is removed and replaced with a metal stem, which is placed into the center of the femur, and a metal or ceramic ball.

What is distal femur fracture?

Distal Femur (Thighbone) Fractures of the Knee. A fracture is a broken bone. Fractures of the thighbone that occur just above the knee joint are called distal femur fractures. The distal femur is where the bone flares out like an upside-down funnel.

What is the CPT code for ORIF distal femur fracture?

You would use 27513. This includes fixation of the fracture which extends into the joint space.

What is left femur fracture?

A broken thighbone, also known as a femur fracture, is a serious and painful injury. The femur is one of the strongest bones in the body, and a break or fracture in the femur bone is often caused by severe injury such as trauma sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

What is the meaning of periprosthetic fractures?

Periprosthetic fractures (PF) are considered fractures associated with an orthopedic implant, whether a replacement or internal fixation device. The global incidence of all types of PF is increasing constantly due to the growing number of primary joint arthroplasties and revision surgeries (1).

How is a periprosthetic fracture treated?

Essentially all periprosthetic fractures require some treatment. Stable nondisplaced fractures may only require protected weightbearing or cast/brace immobilization (and pain medication), but most unstable peri-implant fractures require surgical stabilization, implant replacement, or both to restore function.

What is a peri-implant fracture?

Fractures around joint replacement prostheses are commonly called periprosthetic fractures, whereas fractures around plates, rods, or prostheses can be more generally termed peri-implant fractures. Nonprosthetic peri-implant fractures may be considered to represent a separate entity.

What is periprosthetic fracture?

Periprosthetic fractures are fractures that occur around a prosthesis. They are not complications of the prosthesis but are caused by either trauma or disease (pathological). These fractures are not coded as a complication since they don’t actually involve the implant. ICD-10-CM has specific codes for periprosthetic fractures.

How many codes are required for periprosthetic fractures?

A minimum of two codes are required when reporting the periprosthetic fractures. One code for the periprosthetic fracture and another for the type of fracture, such as traumatic vs. pathological with the underlying condition.

What is the ICd 10 code for a fracture of the lower end of the left femur?

In this case, report ICD-10-CM codes S72.402A (Unspecified fracture of lower end of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture) as the principal/first listed diagnosis followed by M97.02XA (Periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left hip joint, initial encounter) as a secondary diagnosis. (Also assign external cause codes)
