Patients with hip fractures do not appear to be distinctly more osteoporotic than persons of similar age. Therefore, factors besides bone mass, such as a tendency to fall, may be important determinants of which elderly persons will have fractures; thus, measurements of bone mass might not be a reliable way to identify those at greatest risk of ...
Signs and symptoms of a hip fracture include:
ICD-10 code M80. 08XA for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, vertebra(e), initial encounter for fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Osteopathies and chondropathies .
Z87. 81 - Personal history of (healed) traumatic fracture. ICD-10-CM.
0 is the diagnosis code used for Age-Related Osteoporosis without Current Pathological Fracture. A disorder characterized by Loss of bone mass and strength due to nutritional, metabolic, or other factors, usually resulting in deformity or fracture; a major public health problem of the elderly, especially women.
Osteoporosis without current pathological fracture A condition that is marked by a decrease in bone mass and density, causing bones to become fragile.
ICD-10-CM S72. 001A 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.

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 break is called a pathologic fracture when force or impact didn't cause the break to happen. Instead, an underlying disease leaves your bones weak and brittle. You may move wrong or shift your body weight in a way that puts pressure on weak bones. For most people, it takes a significant force to break your bones.
A hip fracture is a break in the upper portion of the femur (thighbone). Most hip fractures occur in elderly patients whose bones have become weakened by osteoporosis. When a hip fracture occurs in a younger patient, it is typically the result of a high-energy event, such as a fall from a ladder or vehicle collision.
A vertebral fracture may occur spontaneously and thus be more easily identified as occurring due to a disease (e.g. osteoporosis) and, therefore, coded as a pathologic fracture (ICD9 733.13). In contrast, a hip fracture usually occurs in association with a fall, even though the fracture may have caused the fall.
Consistent with current clinical experience, the fractures rated most likely due to osteoporosis were the femoral neck, pathologic fractures of the vertebrae, and lumbar and thoracic vertebral fractures. The fractures rated least likely due to osteoporosis were open proximal humerus fractures, skull, and facial bones.
