ICD-10-CMOther osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, unspecified pelvis, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture of an unspecified pelvic bone due to osteoporosis, where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate. This is a follow-up encounter for the fracture management, indicating ongoing care for the delayed union. The underlying osteoporosis is not specified as postmenopausal, age-related, or drug-induced.
Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with osteoporosis is receiving treatment for a pathological pelvic fracture that is exhibiting delayed healing. Documentation should clearly state "delayed union" or similar terminology for the fracture, and confirm the osteoporotic etiology. This code is appropriate when the specific type of osteoporosis is not documented.
