After that, the IM rod (nail) is then placed. The femur is opened and a wire with a ball tip is placed down the canal for measurement. Afterword the nail is placed and then secured with pins.

Intramedullary nailing is surgery to repair a broken bone and keep it stable. The most common bones fixed by this procedure are the thigh, shin, hip, and upper arm. A permanent nail or rod is placed into the center of the bone.
Intramedullary nailing is an internal fixation technique mainly used for the surgical management of long bone diaphyseal fractures and since more recently, also in metaphyseal and periarticular fractures.
ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare Z47. 89.
Intramedullary fixation devices (IMFDs), such as nails and rods, are used for the fixation of various bones and are typically used in the femur, tibia, humerus, radius and ulna. An IMFD subjected to cyclical loading can fail due to fatigue if stresses on the device exceed its endurance limit.
Humeral shaft fractures: a review. Definitive operative intervention for acute traumatic humeral shaft fractures generally consists of either open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) or antegrade intramedullary nailing (IMN).
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is surgery used to stabilize and heal a broken bone. You might need this procedure to treat your broken thighbone (femur). The femur is the large bone in the upper part of your leg. Different kinds of trauma can damage this bone, causing it to fracture into 2 or more pieces.
Open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) of the hip is a procedure performed to repair a complex or severe hip fracture. When the hip bone has been damaged or misaligned to the point that it will not heal properly on its own, a surgeon must repair the bones manually.
81 for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on specified body systems is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
ICD-10: Z47. 1, Aftercare following surgery for joint replacement.
Medical Definition of intramedullary : situated or occurring within a medulla an intramedullary tumor of the spinal cord especially : involving use of the marrow space of a bone for support intramedullary pinning of a fracture of the thigh.
Intramedullary intradural lesions are within the substance of the cord. Extramedullary lesions are located within the dural sac but exterior to the spinal cord.
Intramedullary is a medical term meaning the inside of a bone. Examples include intramedullary rods used to treat bone fractures in orthopedic surgery and intramedullary tumors occurring in some forms of cancer or benign tumors such as an enchondroma.
Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of unspecified femur, initial encounter for closed fracture 1 S72.143A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of unsp femur, init 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.143A became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S72.143A - other international versions of ICD-10 S72.143A may differ.
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.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
0QH836Z is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach. The code is valid for the year 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term entry is Graft; subterm entry fascia, which directs users to code 83.82, Graft of muscle or fascia.
The ICD-10-PCS procedure code for this procedure is 0TY00Z0. The fourth character (0) identifies the body part as the right kidney and the fifth character (0) identifies the approach or technique used to reach the operative site as open. The seventh character (0) identifies the donor kidney as allogeneic—taken from different individuals of the same species.
ICD-10-PCS distinguishes the specific finger as well as laterality whereas ICD-9-CM only distinguishes between finger and thumb reattachment procedures without further specificity.
An additional code is assigned to identify the source of the donor kidney, 00.92, Transplant from live non-related donor.
Transplantation represents a small number of procedures in ICD-10-PCS. Some example procedures include a kidney transplant or heart transplant. Note that bone marrow, stem cell, and pancreatic islet cell transplants are not included in the Transplantation root operation. Rather, these are assigned using the root operation Administration.
Putting a pin in a non-displaced fracture is coded to the root operation Insertion.
