The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
CPT code 27236 (open treatment of femoral fracture, proximal end, neck, internal fixation or prosthetic replacement) would be used to report a hemiarthroplasty for a hip fracture. At my practice, coders get this wrong 98% of the time. When coding from the operative report, use caution when assigning the appropriate hip hemiarthroplasty codes.

A partial hip replacement is done mainly to repair fractured hips.
Hip replacement surgery involves removing the diseased hip joint and replacing it with artificial prosthetic components. Conditions that may damage the hip, necessitating a hip replacement, include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, hip fracture, avascular necrosis/osteonecrosis, a bone tumor, and childhood hip disease.
The typical life span of a hip prosthesis is 10 to 15 years.
The “socket” part of the acetabulum is removed and replaced with a metal socket. A plastic, ceramic, or metal spacer (also called a liner or insert) is placed between the new femoral head and socket to allow for a smooth surface. Physicians often use the terms “arthroplasty” and “replacement” interchangeably.
