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.

Fractures if and only if due to trauma or injury should be coded together with its Category:Mechanism.
