When there is normal bone but just not enough of it, we call it osteoporosis. This is by far the most common reason for a fracture without significant trauma. Osteoporosis lies in wait for every living human, if only they live long enough to develop it.
Trochanteric avulsion fractures are those in which a fragment of bone belonging to one of the trochanters breaks away from the femur. The top portion of the femur bone joins with the pelvic bones to form the hip joint.
Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 141A 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 S72.

Intertrochanteric fractures are breaks of the femur between the greater and the lesser trochanters. They are extracapsular fractures that is, outside the hip joint's fibrous capsule. The epidemiology of intertrochanteric fractures is similar to that of femoral neck fractures.

Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
An intertrochanteric fracture is a type of hip fracture or broken hip. The hip is made up of two bones—the femur, or "thigh bone," and the pelvis, or "socket." The hip is an important ball-in-socket joint that allows you to move your leg when walking.
Introduction. Intertrochanteric fractures are defined as extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur that occur between the greater and lesser trochanter. The intertrochanteric aspect of the femur is located between the greater and lesser trochanters and is composed of dense trabecular bone.
The intertrochanteric area can also be seen as the area where the femur changes from an essentially vertical bone to a bone angling at a 45° angle from the near-vertical to the acetabulum or pelvis. The femoral artery and nerve are anterior; the sciatic nerve is posterior. (See Hip Joint Anatomy.)
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.
142D for Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of left femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Pathological fracture, hip, unspecified, initial encounter for fracture. M84. 459A 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 M84.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S72. 92XA became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S72.
A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced. A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed. The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification.
