Age-rel osteopor w crnt path fx, r femr, 7thD

This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture of the right femur due to age-related osteoporosis, who is in the healing phase of the fracture treatment. The fracture occurred spontaneously or with minimal trauma due to weakened bone structure.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a right femoral fracture caused by osteoporosis, and the fracture is progressing through routine healing. Documentation should clearly state "subsequent encounter" and indicate that healing is routine, without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "age-related osteoporosis" as the underlying cause of the pathological fracture.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always sequence the osteoporosis code (M80.-) first, followed by any associated pathological fracture code (M80.051D in this case).
