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 weakened the bone is not a neoplasm (use a code from category:Pathologic fracture due to neoplasm) or osteoporosis (use a code from category:Pathologic fracture due to osteoporosis).

Fractures

For an comprehensive overview, and additional information on coding fractures in ICD10, see Coding fractures in ICD10.
