Age-rel osteopor w current path fx, unsp femur, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or long-term complication resulting from an age-related osteoporotic fracture of an unspecified femur. The patient has a history of an osteoporotic fracture, and the current encounter addresses a sequela (e.g., malunion, nonunion, chronic pain, or functional impairment) directly attributable to that past fracture.

Use this code for encounters where the patient is being treated for a residual condition or late effect of an age-related osteoporotic femoral fracture. Documentation should clearly indicate that the current problem is a direct consequence of a previously healed or resolved osteoporotic fracture. This code is appropriate when the fracture itself is no longer acute.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., M84.0x for malunion).
• Ensure documentation specifies "age-related" osteoporosis and a "pathological fracture" of the femur, not a traumatic one.
• The 7th character "S" indicates sequela; do not use for active fracture treatment.
