Abstract. Definition: Idiopathic osteoporosis refers to the development of osteopenia and fractures with minimal or no trauma in otherwise young, healthy individuals who are not postmenopausal or have other, identifiable secondary causes of osteoporosis.
Personal history of (healed) osteoporosis fracture Z87. 310 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 Z87. 310 became effective on October 1, 2021.

A code from category M80, not a traumatic fracture code, should be used for any patient with known osteoporosis who suffers a fracture even if the patient had a minor fall or trauma (that would typically not break a healthy bone). Certain ICD-10-CM categories require the assignment of a seventh character.
A nontraumatic or pathological fracture is a break of a diseased or weakened bone without any identifiable trauma or following a minor injury that would not ordinarily break a healthy bone. A pathological fracture is classified to code 733.1x, with a fifth digit identifying the fracture site.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is primarily due to estrogen deficiency. Senile osteoporosis is primarily due to an aging skeleton and calcium deficiency.

Osteoporosis without current pathological fracture. If the patient does not have current pathological fracture, you should select a code from the M81 series (even if the patient had pathological fracture in the past). A sixth digit indicates laterality. For example:
Risk factors for osteoporosis are aging, hypocalcemia, vitamin D deficiency, and osteomalacia. Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic unless complications (e.g., fracture) occur. Loss of bone mass leads to loss of bone strength, such that even a trivial trauma may be severe enough to cause a fracture.
Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, which includes: The M80 series of codes is appropriate for either age-related osteoporosis or other osteoporosis, with current pathological frac ture.
Causes may include senility (old age), inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, and protein deficiency.
Osteoporosis also may be related to endocrinal conditions, such as Cushing syndrome, hyperthyroid state, thyrotoxicosis, and diabetes mellitus. Finally, osteoporosis may be drug induced, for instance as a result of long-term steroid therapy.
