Additional Info

Stress fractures, which are frequently hairline fractures, are due to repetitive stress rather than a single big trauma. As a result, athletes tend to get them.
Note that this is a "one size fits all" code, in that stress fractures in any bone get this code. We did not create different codes for different bones.

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.

Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

Pathologic fracture codes:
Bone NOS, osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture Bone NOS, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease Bone, disorder of bone continuity NOS Bone, pathologic fracture NOS Femur or pelvis, osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture Femur or pelvis, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease Osteoporosis without new pathologic fracture Vertebra, osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture Vertebra, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease

Non-traumatic fracture codes:
Bone NOS, nontraumatic fracture NOS Bone NOS, osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture Bone NOS, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease Bone, pathologic fracture NOS Femur or pelvis, nontraumatic fracture NOS Femur or pelvis, osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture Femur or pelvis, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease Vertebra, nontraumatic fracture NOS Vertebra, osteoporosis with new pathologic fracture Vertebra, pathologic fracture due to neoplastic disease
