Additional Info
- This is a "go with" code that should be combined with the ICD10 code for the specific bone fractured -- as it represents the cause of the fracture.
- A pathologic fracture is a fracture that is a consequence of a bone weakening by some process within the bone.
- Use this code for a bone fracture that is deemed to be pathologic but the process that weaked the bone is NOT a neoplasm (Bone, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease) or osteoporosis (Osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture).
Fractures
For an comprehensive overview, and additional information on coding fractures in ICD10, see Coding fractures in ICD10.
Fractures if and only if due to trauma or injury should be coded together with its Category:Mechanism.

Pathologic fracture due to osteoporosis codes: |
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Also code the bone fractured.
- Also code what process within the bone led to the weakening, if known.
