To code for a hip fracture status post, you would typically use the ICD-10-CM code for the specific type of hip fracture (e.g., S72.0 for femoral neck fracture) along with a code for the status post procedure, such as Z87.3 for personal history of hip fracture. Additionally, if the patient has undergone a specific surgical procedure, you may need to include relevant procedure codes from the CPT or ICD-10-PCS coding systems. Always refer to the most recent coding guidelines for accuracy.
I believe it is V54.23 (Aftercare>fracture>healing>hip) However I am not sure so you should probably get other opinions for cross-referencing.
V54.09
Osteoporotic hip fracture
ICD-9-CM diagnosis code: 820.8
The ICD-10 code for an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedure for a right hip fracture is typically classified under codes related to hip fractures, such as S72.0 for "Fracture of neck of femur," or S72.1 for "Fracture of trochanteric region of femur." The specific code may depend on the exact nature of the fracture and the surgical approach used. Always consult the latest coding guidelines or a coding specialist for precise coding.
Wound infections, mal-union of the bone, blood tumors, implant complications, dislocations, are the common post-op complications in hip surgery.
A hairline hip fracture, also known as a stress fracture, can be one of the hardest fractures to diagnose. You would experience a great deal of pain when any pressure is placed on the leg in which the hip fracture is located.
A hip fracture generally refers to the fracture of the head or neck of the femur (thigh) bone. There are several different areas that can suffer a fracture and still be called a hip fracture. For example, a fracture to the greater or lesser trochanters of the femur are also commonly called hip fractures by the general public.
No, a fracture of the femur is a break in the thigh bone, while a fracture of the hip usually refers to a break in the bones that make up the hip joint, such as the pelvic bones or the top of the femur where it connects to the pelvis. Each requires different treatment approaches and can have different long-term implications.
how long does it take for a hip hair line fracture to heal and what is the treatment
Nursing management of a fracture depends a lot on the type & location of the fracture. The basic principles of fracture management is pain assessment and management, the assessment of neurovascular status of the limb and management and prevention of complications
Yes, an osteoporotic hip fracture is, by definition, a type of pathologic fracture. It occurs in both sexes and is too often the first symptom of osteoporosis, especially in men, as they are underdiagnosed and undertreated. The stock phrase "fell and broke her hip" is often true in reverse - her hip fractured, causing the fall.
