Age-rel osteopor with current path fx, right pelvis, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a pathological fracture of the right pelvis, which occurred due to age-related osteoporosis. It indicates that the fracture itself has healed, but the patient continues to experience residual effects directly attributable to that specific osteoporotic fracture.

Use this code when documentation clearly states that a patient is presenting for follow-up or treatment of a residual condition (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion, malunion, functional limitation) directly related to a previously healed pathological fracture of the right pelvis caused by age-related osteoporosis. The medical record must explicitly link the current sequela to the past osteoporotic fracture.

• Requires documentation of a healed fracture and a current, ongoing sequela.
• Do not use for an active, acute fracture; refer to codes for current pathological fractures.
• Sequence this code after the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable, or as the primary diagnosis if the sequela is the sole focus of the visit.
