Other osteopor with current path fracture, left pelvis, 7thG

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with osteoporosis, experiencing a pathological fracture in the left pelvic bone that is currently undergoing delayed healing. The fracture occurred due to the underlying osteoporosis, not from significant trauma. This code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the fracture.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a left pelvic pathological fracture, where the healing process is slower than expected. Documentation should clearly state "osteoporosis with pathological fracture," "left pelvis," and indicate "delayed healing" during a subsequent encounter. This code is appropriate when the fracture is still actively being managed and has not fully healed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "pathological fracture" due to osteoporosis, not a traumatic fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left pelvis) and the "subsequent encounter" and "delayed healing" status are explicitly documented.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally or have healed.
