S72. 91XA 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. 91XA became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
ICD-10 Code for Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture- S72. 002A- Codify by AAPC.
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.
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.

In certain types of femur fractures, your femur has broken, but its pieces still line up correctly. In other types of fractures (displaced fractures), the trauma moves the bone fragments out of alignment. If you fracture your femur, you usually need ORIF to bring your bones back into place and help them heal.
ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture S72. 91XA.
When the visit is for the purpose of deciding what treatment is required to repair the fracture, it is an initial encounter. Likewise, when the visit results in a changed active plan of care, it is an initial encounter.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of right wrist and hand, initial encounter for closed fracture- S62. 91XA- Codify by AAPC.
A femoral neck fracture can tear the blood vessels and cut off the blood supply to the femoral head. If the blood supply to the femoral head is lost, the bone tissue will die (a process called avascular necrosis), leading to the eventual collapse of the bone.
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.
Treatment of Stress Fracture Bone generally takes 6-8 weeks to heal and this is the period of time where crutches and non-weight bearing are required. This period can be followed by a period of progressive partial weight bearing (still with crutches) and hopefully crutches can be discarded at approx. 12 weeks.
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.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S72.001D and a single ICD9 code, V54.13 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
