The end cap for the Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail System is cannulated and can be inserted over a guide wire. Place a 3.2 mm guide wire through the incision and into the top of the nail. Select the appropriate end cap and slide the end cap over the guide wire and into the top of the nail.

Also, for reverse oblique intertrochanteric and high subtrochanteric fractures, the nail should sit slightly proud of the greater trochanter to provide an added point of fi xation. If the nail has been over- inserted, it should be extended by the use of an end cap of appropriate length.
The Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) is intended to treat stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
S72. 143A 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. 143A became effective on October 1, 2021.
27506 would be correct The femur is opened and a wire with a ball tip is placed down the canal for measurement. Afterword the nail is placed and then secured with pins. Look at your note and see what hardware was used.
CMS will continue to maintain the ICD-9 code website with the posted files. These are the codes providers (physicians, hospitals, etc.) and suppliers must use when submitting claims to Medicare for payment.
International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes are found on patient paperwork, including hospital records, medical charts, visit summaries, and bills. These codes ensure that you get proper treatment and are charged correctly for any medical services you receive.
Open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) of the hip is a procedure performed to repair a complex or severe hip fracture. When the hip bone has been damaged or misaligned to the point that it will not heal properly on its own, a surgeon must repair the bones manually.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S72. 142A became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S72. 142A - other international versions of ICD-10 S72.
Intramedullary nailing is surgery to repair a broken bone and keep it stable. The most common bones fixed by this procedure are the thigh, shin, hip, and upper arm. A permanent nail or rod is placed into the center of the bone. It will help you be able to put weight on the bone.
An intramedullary nail is a metal rod that is inserted into the medullary cavity of a bone and across the fracture in order to provide a solid support for the fractured bone. Intramedullary nailing is currently considered the "gold standard" for treatment of femoral shaft fractures (Rudloff 2009).
Since the op report indicates a nail was used, that would be coded as a 27245. If only plates and/or screws used, such as for a hip pinning, then you would use 27244. Intramedullary implants are placed on an instrument and mallet used to place it in the canal and then screws used to fixate the nail in place.
In a concise statement, ICD-9 is the code used to describe the condition or disease being treated, also known as the diagnosis. CPT is the code used to describe the treatment and diagnostic services provided for that diagnosis.
ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes provide the reason for seeking health care; ICD-10-PCS procedure codes tell what inpatient treatment and services the patient got; CPT (HCPCS Level I) codes describe outpatient services and procedures; and providers generally use HCPCS (Level II) codes for equipment, drugs, and supplies for ...
CPT codes refer to the treatment being given, while ICD codes refer to the problem that the treatment is aiming to resolve. The two work hand-in-hand to quickly provide payors specific information about what service was performed (the CPT code) and why (the ICD code).
The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
Take the guide wire for the short nail and insert it just lateral to the tip of the greater trochanter and in line with the middle of the femoral neck, and slightly lateral to a line corresponding to the anatomical axis of the shaft.
This will ensure that the tip of the blade will be 10 mm from the joint.
If you are using the PFNA, insert the 11.0 drill bit over the guide wire and open the lateral cortex to 11 mm. In a young patient, drill the neck with the 11.0 mm reamer to make room for the helical blade. In the elderly, stop once you have opened the lateral cortex. The neck has so little bone that it is best to insert the helical blade by hand over the guide wire without reaming the bone. This prevents unnecessary destruction of the remaining bone stock.
Use of an end cap might be considered, according to producer's instructions. However, as nearly none of the implants will be removed, this step is generally not necessary.#N#The final position of the nail is checked in two planes.
In most patients the nail, mounted on the insertion device, can be inserted manually. Use the image intensifier as a help and insert the nail to such a depth that it will allow the blade to be placed through the middle of the femoral neck. There are many devices now available with various proximal locking options.
