733.97, Stress fracture of shaft of femur or.733.96, Stress fracture of femoral neck.733.94, Stress fracture of the metatarsals.733.93, Stress fracture of tibia or fibula.If the physician documents stress fracture, assign one of the following codes:
Pathological condition lle code#
When one of these terms is documented in the medical record, a code from subcategory 733.1 may be assigned instead of a code from 800 to 820. The following terms are synonymous with pathological fracture: spontaneous fracture, insufficiency fracture, nontraumatic fracture, nontraumatic compression fracture, and chronic fracture. Only the physician can determine whether the fracture is considered traumatic or pathologic, and physician documentation must be obtained to clarify the diagnosis. However, the fact that the patient has a bone-weakening condition such as osteoporosis does not mean the fracture is pathologic. Other underlying causes of pathological fractures include metastatic tumor of the bone, osteomyelitis, Paget’s disease, disuse atrophy, hyperparathyroidism, and nutritional or congenital disorders. Osteoporotic fractures often occur in the vertebra (733.13), hip (733.14), and wrist (distal radius or Colles’ fracture, 733.12). A pathological fracture is classified to code 733.1x, with a fifth digit identifying the fracture site. If the fracture is determined to be due to osteoporosis, it is considered a pathological fracture, which is a break of a diseased or weakened bone without any identifiable trauma or following a minor injury that would not ordinarily break a healthy bone. Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs. Other codes for osteoporosis include osteoporosis circumscripta (731.0) posttraumatic osteoporosis (733.7), which also includes disuse atrophy of bone and wedging of vertebra, not otherwise specified (733.00). unspecified curvature of the spine (737.40).scoliosis (737.43), lateral curvature of the spine or.lordosis (737.42), increased concavity of the lumbar spine.kyphosis (737.41), increased convexity of the thoracic spine.If the documentation mentions curvature of the spine associated with the osteoporosis, assign one of the following codes in addition to the osteoporosis code, sequencing the osteoporosis code first: When the documentation does not state whether the drug was taken correctly or incorrectly, it is assumed it was taken correctly. If the drug was taken incorrectly, sequence the poisoning code first followed by code 733.09 and the E code identifying the circumstances of the poisoning. If the drug was taken correctly (adverse effect), sequence code 733.09 first followed by the therapeutic use E code identifying the drug. Drug-induced osteoporosis (733.09) can be caused by corticosteroids, heparin, barbiturates, and anticonvulsants.Disuse osteoporosis (733.03) is due to immobilization or disuse of a bone (eg, hemiplegia).Other causes of secondary osteoporosis include the following: Secondary osteoporosis is usually caused by medical conditions such as chronic renal failure or rheumatoid arthritis or hormonal disorders such as hyperthyroidism or hyperparathyroidism. Idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (733.02) occurs in children and young adults with normal hormone levels and function, normal vitamin levels, and no obvious reason to have weak bones.Women can have senile and postmenopausal osteoporosis simultaneously. Senile osteoporosis (733.01) results from age-related calcium deficiency and occurs in people older than 70 it’s twice as common in women as in men.Postmenopausal osteoporosis (ICD-9-CM code 733.01) is caused by a lack of estrogen and affects women aged 51 to 75.
Types of primary osteoporosis include the following: Osteoporosis, the most common bone disease, is an abnormal loss of bony tissue resulting in fragile or porous bones. Some of the more common bone diseases are discussed here. A bone disease is considered any condition that affects the skeletal system and can range from very serious, requiring prompt treatment, to chronic conditions that may cause limited range of motion, deformity, or pain.
