ICD-10-CM Code for Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture S72. 002A.
03: Fracture of neck of femur: Subcapital.
A fractured neck of femur (broken hip) is a serious injury, especially in older people. It is likely to be life changing and for some people life threatening. It occurs when the top part of the femur (leg bone) is broken, just below the ball and socket joint.
Femoral neck fracture occurs in the hip region below the ball-and-socket joint. Your doctor will suggest an appropriate therapeutic approach to treat the fracture based on your age and the severity of the fracture.

Intracapsular neck of femur fractures (#NOF) occur within the capsule of the hip joint. The blood supply to femoral head travels in a retrograde direction via the capsule. As such, any fracture within the capsule could be likely to damage this blood supply (see below, complications)
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.
2. 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].
greenstick fracture, in which your bone is broken on one side, while the other side is bent.
A hip fracture is a break in the thighbone (femur) of your hip joint. Joints are areas where two or more bones meet. Your hip joint is a "ball and socket" joint, where your thighbone meets your pelvic bone. The ball part of your hip joint is the head of the thighbone.
A hip fracture is a partial or complete break of the femur (thigh bone), where it meets your pelvic bone. It's a serious injury that requires immediate medical attention. Fractured hips in younger people usually occur during car accidents, long falls or other severe traumas.
