One of the biggest dangers of femur fractures is developing blood clots in the body. When the femurs fracture, the bone marrow becomes exposed. The contents of the bone marrow can act as blood clots throughout the body. Dangerous blood clots can occur in: The brain called a stroke. The heart turned into a heart attack.
A femoral fracture is a break in the thigh bone. It runs from the hip to the knee. This injury is caused by trauma from: A motor vehicle accident Stress on a weakened bone Things that may raise the risk are: Having a health problem that may result in falls, such as weak muscles
Subtrochanteric (ST) femur fractures are defined as fractures of the proximal femur that occur within 5 cm of the lesser trochanter. 1. Overall, the incidence of these fractures has been estimated to be approximately 15–20 per 100,000 individuals.
Subtrochanteric fractures are located between the lesser trochanter and the femoral isthmus that is, in the proximal part of the femoral shaft. They are less common than femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures, accounting for approximately 5% to 15 % of hip fractures.
Displaced subtrochanteric fracture of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 22XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10-CM Code for Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture S72. 001A.
The subtrochanteric region is defined as within 5 centimeters distal to the lesser trochanter. Subtrochanteric fractures often are associated with intertrochanteric fractures. The strong gluteal and thigh muscles create a classic deformity. The proximal fragment is held in abduction, flexion, and external rotation.
Intramedullary fixation is the treatment of choice for subtrochanteric fractures because it allows splinting of the whole of the femoral shaft.
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.
142 for Displaced intertrochanteric fracture of left femur 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.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Proximal femoral fractures are a heterogeneous group of fractures that occur in and around the hip. The commonest type of fracture in this region is the femoral neck fracture. They can occur anywhere between the joint surface of the femoral head and the upper shaft (proximal diaphysis) of the femur.
Unspecified fracture of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 92XA 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.
