This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.
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.
- FY2014 Added to the draft code set draft Nondisplaced fracture of lesser trochanter of right femur
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 S72 Fracture of femur
Seventh character required
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to all codes from category S72
Seventh character values
- initial encounter for open fracture NOS
Excludes1 - never coded here
- traumatic amputation of hip and thigh (S78.-)
Excludes2 - not included here
- fracture of lower leg and ankle (S82.-)
- fracture of foot (S92.-)
- periprosthetic fracture of prosthetic implant of hip (M97.0-)
Note
- A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
- A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
- The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification
Inherited from the S70-S79 section Injuries to the hip and thigh (S70-S79)
Excludes2 - not included here
- burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
- frostbite (T33-T34)
- snake bite (T63.0-)
- venomous insect bite or sting (T63.4-)
How CDC's index refers to this code
Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
- Fracture, traumatic > trochanter
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > pertrochanteric
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > intertrochanteric
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > intratrochanteric
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > transtrochanteric
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > upper end > pertrochanteric
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > trochanteric > lesser trochanter
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > upper end > trochanteric > lesser
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > trochanteric > lesser trochanter > nondisplaced
- Fracture, traumatic > femur, femoral > upper end > trochanteric > lesser > nondisplaced
