ICD-10 code S72. 11 for Fracture of greater trochanter of femur is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Isolated fracture of the greater trochanter is an uncommon presentation of hip fracture. Traditional teaching has been to manage these injuries nonoperatively, but modern imaging techniques have made it possible to detect occult intertrochanteric extension of the fracture in up to 90% of cases.
The greater trochanter - A powerful protrusion located at the proximal (near) and lateral (outside) part of the shaft of the femur. The greater trochanter is also called the major trochanter, the outer trochanter, and the lateral process of the femur.
Definition. Trochanteric fracture involves the proximal femur between the cervical region and the shaft. Subtrochanteric fracture, with a fracture line running from an area within 5 cm distal to the lesser trochanter, is usually also included in the definition [6].
The greater trochanter is located at the top of the thighbone (femur) and is the most prominent and widest part of the hip.
Greater trochanteric fractures generally result from forceful muscle contraction of a fixed limb, which usually occurs in those who are young and physically active. It can also be caused by direct trauma.
One bursa covers the bony point of the hip bone called the greater trochanter. Inflammation of this bursa is called trochanteric bursitis. Another bursa — the iliopsoas bursa — is located on the inside (groin side) of the hip.
Trochanteric bursitis is inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sac near a joint) at the part of the hip called the greater trochanter. When this bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, it causes pain in the hip. This is a common cause of hip pain.
The bony bump over the side of the hip is called the greater trochanter. A tight band about two inches wide, called the IT band, passes over this bump from the pelvis on its way down the leg.
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.
Definition of trochanter 1 : a rough prominence at the upper part of the femur of many vertebrates serving usually for the attachment of muscles. 2 : the second segment of an insect's leg adjacent to the coxa.
If a hip or pelvic fracture is nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in place, orthopedic specialists at NYU Langone may recommend noninvasive treatments to help speed healing.
