Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 001A 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.
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.
The femoral neck is the part of the femur that is measured when you have a bone mineral density test (DXA). This portion of your femur bone is measured because it has a larger percentage of soft bone than the rest of your femur. This makes it more vulnerable to a fracture.
S72. 92XD - Unspecified fracture of left femur [subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing] | ICD-10-CM.
Grade I is an incomplete or valgus impacted fracture. Grade II is a complete fracture without bone displacement. Grade III is a complete fracture with partial displacement of the fracture fragments. Grade IV is a complete fracture with total displacement of the fracture fragments.
Femoral neck fractures are a specific type of intracapsular hip fracture. The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral head. The hip joint is the articulation of the femoral head with the acetabulum. The junctional location makes the femoral neck prone to fracture.
Femoral neck fractures may be either displaced, where the bone is moved out of its original position, or non-displaced, where there is no instability of the bone. These fractures may disrupt the blood supply to the fractured portion of the bone.
A hip fracture is a break in the thighbone (femur) of your hip joint. Joints are areas where two or more bones meet. Your hip joint is a "ball and socket" joint, where your thighbone meets your pelvic bone. The ball part of your hip joint is the head of the thighbone.
The femoral neck. This area is situated in the upper portion of your femur, just below the ball part (femoral head) of the ball-and-socket joint.

Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture S72. 91XA.
Intracapsular Fractures – break occurs below the ball or in the neck of the femur. Intertrochanteric Fractures – break occurs between the greater trochanter and lesser trochanter. Subtrochanteric Fractures – break occurs below the lesser trochanter or further down the femur.
This type of fracture is also sometimes called a subcapital or intracapsular fracture. If a femoral neck fracture is not displaced, the most common treatment is in-situ pinning.
A hip fracture happens when the upper part of the thighbone breaks. Older people and people with osteoporosis are more likely to break a hip. Surgery and physical therapy can help some people with a broken hip regain mobility and independence.
The femur is the thigh bone. It consists of the femoral shaft, which runs from the hip to the knee, and the femoral head, which connects to the hip bone. The femoral neck is the part of the bone that connects the head with the shaft. The location of the femoral neck makes it prone to fractures.
