Diagnosis = hip fracture (ICD 9-CM codes 820.0-820.9) in any field. Surgical treatment = open reduction of fracture with or without internal fixation (ICD-9-CM codes: 79.20, 79.26, 79.29, 79.30, 79.36, 79.39, 79.50, 79.56, or 79.59 ) or total ankle replacement (ICD-9 CM code: 81.56).Oct 19, 2011
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.

A femoral neck fracture is a type of hip fracture of the thigh bone (femur)—just below the ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint. This type of fracture disconnects the ball from the rest of the femur. It often causes groin pain that worsens when you putting weight on the injured leg.Jan 22, 2021

Keywords for healing is if the documentation mentions “callus formation.”. Callus formation means the bones are healing. Just in general, here are some more facts about fracture coding.
All fractures default to a “closed” fracture if it’s not documented. Closed fracture means that there’s a broken bone but it is not coming out through the skin. This is really gross to think about but since we’re coders, we have to. Basically, if the report states “open fracture,” you’d code it as open fracture.
But what that means is that the bone is so broken and messed up that you’d be able to see it. It’s through the skin (these are very bad fractures, sometimes from gunshot wounds and those types of injuries).
