Intertrochanteric hip fracture: An intertrochanteric hip fracture occurs three to four inches from the hip joint. This type of fracture does not interrupt the blood supply to the bone and may be easier to repair.

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.

“Frailty is an age-related, multidimensional state of decreased physiologic reserves. Frail patients are at increased risk of decline as a result of illness or stressors such as surgery.
Intertrochanteric Fractures. 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.
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.
“Intertrochanteric” means “between the trochanters,” which are bony protrusions on the femur (thighbone). They're the points where the muscles of the thigh and hip attach. There are two trochanters in the body: the greater trochanter and the lesser trochanter.
Typically, isolated greater trochanteric fractures can be treated non-operatively. However fractures occurring between the greater and lesser trochanters, called Intertrochanteric Fractures do require surgery, as do fractures occurring below the trochanters known as Subtrochanteric Fractures.
Patients with intertrochanteric fractures tend to have more pointed and longer osteophytes compared to those with femoral neck fractures, which can lead to an increased CEA on radiographs of the pelvis or hip joint.
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.
Closed or open fractures: If the injury doesn't break open the skin, it's called a closed fracture. If the skin does open, it's called an open fracture or compound fracture. Complete fractures: The break goes completely through the bone, separating it in two. Displaced fractures: A gap forms where the bone breaks.
A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced. A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed. The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
