ICD-10 | Intertrochanteric fracture of femur (S72. 14)
ICD-10-CM Code for Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of left femur S72. 142.
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.
An intertrochanteric fracture is a type of hip fracture or broken hip. The hip is made up of two bones—the femur, or "thigh bone," and the pelvis, or "socket." The hip is an important ball-in-socket joint that allows you to move your leg when walking.

Code I25* is the diagnosis code used for Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease, also known as Coronary artery disease (CAD). It is a is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden coronary death.
The intertrochanteric area of the femur is distal to the femoral neck and proximal to the femoral shaft; it is the area of the femoral trochanters, the lesser and the greater trochanters (see the image below).
Intertrochanteric and femoral neck fractures are the most common types of hip fracture. Femoral head fractures are extremely rare and are usually the result of a high-velocity event. The areas of the femur (thighbone).
When a fracture happens, it's classified as either open or closed: Open fracture (also called compound fracture): The bone pokes through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin. Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
S72. 92XA 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. 92XA became effective on October 1, 2021.
In a complete fracture, your bone breaks completely. It's snapped or crushed into two or more pieces. Types of complete fracture include: single fracture, in which your bone is broken in one place into two pieces. comminuted fracture, in which your bone is broken or crushed into three or more pieces.
Symptoms of Intertrochanteric Fracture A break in the intertrochanteric area often happens after a fall or other trauma. Signs that you may have an intertrochanteric fracture include: Severe pain where your leg meets your hip.
