Acute slipped upper femoral epiphysis (nontraumatic), left hip. M93. 012 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition of the hip joint that affects adolescents. In SCFE, the head, or "ball," of the thigh bone (referred to as the femoral head) slips off the neck of the thigh bone.
How Is Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Treated? SCFE is always treated with surgery to stabilize the growth plate that slipped. But even before the surgery, the doctor will try to prevent any further slipping by encouraging rest and the use of crutches to avoid putting weight on the affected leg.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE), also sometimes called Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SUFE) is a disease of childhood, typically seen in late childhood and early adolescence. In the condition, the head of the femur 'slips' out of alignment due to shearing forces across the physics (growth plate).
The epiphysis at the upper end of the bone eventually becomes the femoral head. Like the other long bones in the body, the femur does not grow from the center outward. Instead, growth occurs at each end of the bone around an area of developing cartilage called the growth plate (physis).
Diagnosis is confirmed by bilateral hip radiography, which needs to include anteroposterior and frog-leg lateral views in patients with stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis, and anteroposterior and cross-table lateral views in patients with the unstable form.
In SCFE, the top or cap of the ball slips off the femoral head through the growth plate. Think of the ball as being like a scoop of ice cream that falls off its “cone,” the thighbone. It is a kind of break (fracture). Almost all children with the condition have surgery.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a rare condition that is slightly more likely to occur in boys than girls. SCFE occurs in about one per 1,000 to one per 10,000 children and teens; children ages 12 to 14 years are most at risk.
epiphysis, expanded end of the long bones in animals, which ossifies separately from the bone shaft but becomes fixed to the shaft when full growth is attained. The epiphysis is made of spongy cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition which predominantly occurs in adolescents. SCFE is extremely rare in adults, and nearly all previous reported cases have been associated with an endocrine disorder.
The most common cause of coxa vara is either congenital or developmental. Other common causes include metabolic bone diseases (e.g. Paget's disease of bone), post-Perthes deformity, osteomyelitis, and post traumatic (due to improper healing of a fracture between the greater and lesser trochanter).
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
M93.0 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM M93.0 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M93.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 M93.0 may differ. Use Additional.
732.2 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of nontraumatic slipped upper femoral epiphysis. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.

Your hip is the joint where your thigh bone meets your pelvis bone. Hips are called ball-and-socket joints because the ball-like top of your thigh bone moves within a cup-like space in your pelvis. Your hips are very stable. When they are healthy, it takes great force to hurt them. However, playing sports, running, overuse or falling can all sometimes lead to hip injuries. These include
