- M84.550G Pathological fracture in neoplastic disease, pelvis, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- M84.550K Pathological fracture in neoplastic disease, pelvis, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
- M84.550P Pathological fracture in neoplastic disease, pelvis, subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- M84.550S Pathological fracture in neoplastic disease, pelvis, sequela
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2014 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
Inherited from M84 Disorder of continuity of bone

- traumatic fracture of bone-see fracture, by site
