Displaced supracondylar fracture without intracondylar extension of lower end of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72.452A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.452A became effective on October 1, 2018.
An occult fracture is a fracture that is not readily visible, generally in regard to projectional radiography ("X-ray"). Radiographically, occult and subtle fractures are a diagnostic challenge. They may be divided into 1) high energy trauma fracture, 2) fatigue fracture from cyclical and sustained mechanical stress, and 3) insufficiency fracture occurring in weakened bone (e.g., in ...
What are the different types of femur shaft fractures?
Supracondylar femoral fracture (also called a distal fracture) is when the thigh bone, or femur, is broken at the knee. The knees are the largest weight weight-bearing joint in your body. The distal femur Forms the top part of the knee joint.

Gartland originally described a classification for extension-type supracondylar humerus fractures, dividing them into three types: type I is non-displaced, type II is displaced with an intact posterior cortex, and type III is displaced without cortical contact [2, 5].
The humerus is the bone in your upper arm that's located between your elbow and your shoulder. Its main function is to provide support for your shoulder and a wide variety of movements for your arm.

In this case, report ICD-10-CM codes S72. 402A (Unspecified fracture of lower end of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture) as the principal/first listed diagnosis followed by M97. 02XA (Periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left hip joint, initial encounter) as a secondary diagnosis.
A fracture is a broken bone. Fractures of the thighbone that occur just above the knee joint are called distal femur fractures. The distal femur is where the bone flares out like an upside-down funnel.
