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.
- Use this code for a bone fracture that is deemed to be "pathologic" (i.e. fracture is a consequence of a bone weakening by some process within the bone). This specific code is for such a process that is NOT due to neoplasm (Bone, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease) or osteoporosis (Osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture).
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Lower leg, fracture
- Osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture
- Bone, pathologic fracture NOS
- Bone, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease
- Bone, stress fracture
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Also code the bone fractured.
- Also code what process within the bone led to the weakening, if known.
