ICD-10-CMOther osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, right pelvis, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture of the right pelvis due to osteoporosis, where the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion). This is not the initial treatment encounter for the fracture, but rather a follow-up visit for ongoing management of the unhealed fracture.
Apply this code when a patient with documented osteoporosis is seen for continued care of a right pelvic fracture that has been identified as a nonunion. Documentation should clearly state the osteoporotic etiology of the fracture, the anatomical site (right pelvis), the nonunion status, and that this is a subsequent encounter.
