Subcapital fracture of femur. Unspecified intracapsular fracture of femur. Approximate Synonyms. Closed subcapital fracture of neck of left femur. Left subcapital femoral (upper leg bone) fracture. ICD-10-CM S72.012A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 521 Hip replacement with principal diagnosis of hip fracture with mcc.
Subcapital fracture is the most common type of intracapsular neck of femur fracture. The fracture line extends through the junction of the head and neck of femur.
Transcervical fractures of the proximal femur are the most common (45–50%) type of hip fracture in children [1]. The lateral epiphyseal artery is vulnerable at the proximal femoral epiphysis and can be damaged by the fracture ends. AVN is the leading cause of poor postoperative results.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture- S72. 91XA- Codify by AAPC.
subcapital (plural subcapitals) A secondary or regional capital; the capital of a subdivision.
Fractures in this area are categorized based on the location of the fracture along the femoral neck: subcapital is the femoral head and neck junction. transcervical is the mid portion of femoral neck. basicervical is the base of femoral neck.
If a hip or pelvic fracture is nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in place, orthopedic specialists at NYU Langone may recommend noninvasive treatments to help speed healing.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
The proximal aspect of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis to form the hip joint. It consists of a head and neck, and two bony processes - the greater and lesser trochanters.
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.
A subcapital fracture is one of the common types of intracapsular fractures of the femur. These fractures occur at the top level of the femur within a soft-tissue capsule envelope containing lubricant and fluid necessary for the hip joint to move properly.
The Femur: Part of the Hip Joint Most hip fractures occur just below the head of the thighbone. There are two common types: Femoral neck (subcapital) hip fractures, which occur in the neck of the thighbone.
Options for the treatment of subcapital femoral neck fractures basically fall into two categories: internal fixation or arthroplasty (either hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty).
The ICD code S720 is used to code Hip fracture. A hip fracture is a serious femoral fracture that occurs in the proximal end of the femur (the long bone running through the thigh), near the hip. MeSH Code: 68006620. AP hip radiograph demonstrating an intertrochanteric fracture. Source: Wikipedia.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S72.01 is a non-billable code.
You have broken your thigh bone close to your hip joint. The hip joint connects the thigh to the pelvis.
