Your doctor might recommend any of the below scaphoid fracture treatments:
What is left femur fracture? A femur fracture is a break, crack, or crush injury of the thigh bone. It is sometimes referred to as a hip fracture or broken hip when the break is in the upper part of the bone near the hip joint area. Femur fractures that are simple, short cracks in the bone usually do not require surgery. What is the ICD 9 cm code for femur?
What You Need to Know
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S62. 329B: Displaced fracture of shaft of unspecified metacarpal bone, initial encounter for open fracture.
The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft. When there is a break anywhere along this length of bone, it is called a femoral shaft fracture. This type of broken leg almost always requires surgery to heal. The femoral shaft runs from below the hip to where the bone begins to widen at the knee.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
A femoral shaft fracture is defined as any fracture occurring between 5 cm distal to the lesser trochanter and 5 cm proximal to the adductor tubercle. II. Femoral shaft fractures occur most commonly in young men and elderly women following high-energy trauma and low-energy falls, respectively.
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.
The 2016 to 2017 ACS-NSQIP database files were queried using CPT codes, and ICD-10 diagnosis codes to identify patients undergoing surgery for native femoral shaft fractures (CPT-27506) and/or repair of nonunion of femoral shaft fractures with/without graft (CPT-27470, CPT-27472).
ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture S72. 91XA.
Unspecified fracture of lower end of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 401A 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.
S72. 91XA - Unspecified fracture of right femur [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
The proximal femur includes the head, neck, lesser and greater trochanters, and proximal femoral diaphysis. The internal architecture of the proximal femur is complex, with a series of tension trabeculae, running horizontally, and compression trabeculae, running more vertically (Singh et al. 1970).
Femoral neck fractures may be either displaced, where the bone is moved out of its original position, or non-displaced, where there is no instability of the bone. These fractures may disrupt the blood supply to the fractured portion of the bone.
A tibial shaft fracture occurs along the length of the bone, below the knee and above the ankle. It typically takes a major force to cause this type of broken leg. Motor vehicle collisions, for example, are a common cause of tibial shaft fractures.
