Signs and symptoms of a hip fracture include:
When there is normal bone but just not enough of it, we call it osteoporosis. This is by far the most common reason for a fracture without significant trauma. Osteoporosis lies in wait for every living human, if only they live long enough to develop it.
Trochanteric avulsion fractures are those in which a fragment of bone belonging to one of the trochanters breaks away from the femur. The top portion of the femur bone joins with the pelvic bones to form the hip joint.
Fracture complications include: Acute Injuries to adjacent structures Arterial Nerve Other organs. Compartment syndrome Fracture blisters of the skin Fat embolism Open fracture Thromboembolic disease. Chronic Arthritis, post-traumatic Complex regional pain syndrome Delayed union Malunion

Introduction. Intertrochanteric fractures are defined as extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur that occur between the greater and lesser trochanter. The intertrochanteric aspect of the femur is located between the greater and lesser trochanters and is composed of dense trabecular bone.
S72.14ICD-10 | Intertrochanteric fracture of femur (S72. 14)
The intertrochanteric area of the femur is distal to the femoral neck and proximal to the femoral shaft; it is the area of the femoral trochanters, the lesser and the greater trochanters (see the image below).
ICD-10-CM S72. 002A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 521 Hip replacement with principal diagnosis of hip fracture with mcc. 522 Hip replacement with principal diagnosis of hip fracture without mcc.
Intertrochanteric hip fracture: An intertrochanteric hip fracture occurs three to four inches from the hip joint. This type of fracture does not interrupt the blood supply to the bone and may be easier to repair.
S72. 141A - Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
Pathological fracture, hip, unspecified, initial encounter for fracture. M84. 459A 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 M84.
comminuted fracture, in which your bone is broken or crushed into three or more pieces. compression fracture, in which your bone collapses under pressure. nondisplaced fracture, in which your bone breaks into pieces that stay in their normal alignment.
An intertrochanteric fracture is a type of hip fracture or broken hip. The hip is made up of two bones—the femur, or "thigh bone," and the pelvis, or "socket." The hip is an important ball-in-socket joint that allows you to move your leg when walking.

Intertrochanteric and femoral neck fractures are the most common types of hip fracture. Femoral head fractures are extremely rare and are usually the result of a high-velocity event. The areas of the femur (thighbone). Most hip fractures occur in the femoral neck or intertrochanteric area.
