M84. 459A - Pathological fracture, hip, unspecified [initial encounter for fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
A pathologic fracture is a break in a bone that is caused by an underlying disease. At the Spine Hospital at the Neurological Institute of New York, we specialize in pathologic fractures of vertebrae, or bones of the spine. For the most part, bones need a reason to break–for example, a significant trauma.
Pathological fractures of the hip, occurring in bone weakened by a disease process, represent a significant proportion of acute orthopaedic trauma presentations. Factors that contribute to the formation of a pathological lesion in bone depend on the underlying disease process.
ICD-9 code 733.1 for Pathologic fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -OSTEOPATHIES, CHONDROPATHIES, AND ACQUIRED MUSCULOSKELETAL DEFORMITIES (730-739).
Pathological spine fractures are the result of an underlying disease process that affects the spine. They are called vertebral compression fractures and are common, and frequent in the elderly. They may be caused by osteoporosis, Paget's disease, other diseases and spinal infections (osteomyelitis).
A pathological fracture is one in which breaks in the bone were caused by an underlying disease. Examples of pathological fractures include those caused by cancer (see Figure 1), osteoporosis, or other bone diseases.
The femoral neck and head are the most common locations for pathologic fracture because of the propensity for metastases to involve proximal bones and because of the stress of weight placed on this part of the femur.
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 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.

Understanding Pathologic Fractures. A fracture is a break in your 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.
The femoral neck and head are the most common locations for pathologic fracture because of the propensity for metastases to involve proximal bones and because of the stress of weight placed on this part of the femur.
Pathologic fractures occur through areas of weakened bone attributed to either primary malignant lesions, benign lesions, metastasis, or underlying metabolic abnormalities, with the common factor being altered skeletal biomechanics secondary to pathologic bone.
A growing tumor may replace healthy tissue with abnormal tissue. It may weaken the bone, causing it to break (fracture).
The codes under M80 identify the site of the fracture. 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 – if that fall or trauma would not usually break a normal, healthy bone.
A pathological or fragility fracture is defined as a fracture sustained due to trauma no more severe than a fall from standing height, with the break occurring under circumstances that would not cause a fracture in a normal, healthy bone.
