What are the symptoms of a broken femur?
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" if 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.
A fracture occurring in bone weakened by metastases. Tumours with the greatest metastatic affinity for bone are prostate, breast, kidney and thyroid cancers.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
ICD-10 code S72. 91XA for Unspecified fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
A pathologic fracture occurs in abnormal bone, typically with normal activity or minimal trauma. 1 Common causes are osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget disease, osteopetrosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia, primary benign tumor, primary malignant tumor, and metastatic tumor.
S72. 92XD - Unspecified fracture of left femur [subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing] | ICD-10-CM.
Proximal femoral fractures are a heterogeneous group of fractures that occur in and around the hip. The commonest type of fracture in this region is the femoral neck fracture. They can occur anywhere between the joint surface of the femoral head and the upper shaft (proximal diaphysis) of the femur.
4-
452A.
Listen to pronunciation. (PA-thuh-LAH-jik FRAK-sher) A broken bone caused by disease, often by the spread of cancer to the bone.
A growing tumor may replace healthy tissue with abnormal tissue. It may weaken the bone, causing it to break (fracture).
Examples of traumatic fractures include fractures resulting from a fall, blunt injury or a motor vehicle accident1. There are several types of traumatic fractures, which include transverse, oblique, spiral, angulated and displaced fractures. A pathological fracture results from a break of a diseased or weakened bone.
A pathological fracture is one in which breaks in the bone were caused by an underlying disease. Examples of pathological fractures include those caused by cancer (see Figure 1), osteoporosis, or other bone diseases.
The goals of treatment are pain relief, reversal or stabilization of neurological deficits, and stabilization of the spine. For the most part, nonoperative treatments are recommended for less severe pathologic fractures. These include taking pain medications, limiting physical activity, and wearing a brace.
Recovery can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months, depending on the affected body part. If the fracture was caused by a condition that makes it hard for your bones to heal, you may need additional treatment, such as surgery.
Pathologic fractures occur through areas of weakened bone attributed to either primary malignant lesions, benign lesions, metastasis, or underlying metabolic abnormalities, with the common factor being altered skeletal biomechanics secondary to pathologic bone.
The femoral neck and head are the most common locations for pathologic fracture because of the propensity for metastases to involve proximal bones and because of the stress of weight placed on this part of the femur.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M84.551A became effective on October 1, 2021.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
