When there is normal bone but just not enough of it, we call it osteoporosis. This is by far the most common reason for a fracture without significant trauma. Osteoporosis lies in wait for every living human, if only they live long enough to develop it.
An occult fracture is a fracture that is not readily visible, generally in regard to projectional radiography ("X-ray"). Radiographically, occult and subtle fractures are a diagnostic challenge. They may be divided into 1) high energy trauma fracture, 2) fatigue fracture from cyclical and sustained mechanical stress, and 3) insufficiency fracture occurring in weakened bone (e.g., in ...

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.
S72. 141A - Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Comminuted fractures are a type of broken bone. The term comminuted fracture refers to a bone that is broken in at least two places. Comminuted fractures are caused by severe traumas like car accidents. You will need surgery to repair your bone, and recovery can take a year or longer.
Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 141A 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.
Intertrochanteric fractures are breaks of the femur between the greater and the lesser trochanters. They are extracapsular fractures that is, outside the hip joint's fibrous capsule. The epidemiology of intertrochanteric fractures is similar to that of femoral neck fractures.
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.
Introduction. 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.
Unspecified fracture of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. 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.
The proximal aspect of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis to form the hip joint. It consists of a head and neck, and two bony processes - the greater and lesser trochanters.
