Other osteopor with current path fx, unsp pelvis, sequela

This code signifies a healed or inactive pathological fracture of an unspecified pelvic bone, which occurred due to osteoporosis other than age-related or drug-induced. The "sequela" designation indicates that the fracture itself is no longer acute, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications from the prior fracture. The underlying osteoporosis is the primary cause of the bone fragility that led to the fracture.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a history of an osteoporotic pathological fracture of the pelvis, and the fracture is now considered a sequela (e.g., malunion, nonunion, chronic pain, or functional limitation directly attributable to the past fracture). This code is appropriate when the specific type of osteoporosis (e.g., postmenopausal, senile, drug-induced) is not documented.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., M84.08 for malunion of pelvis).
• Ensure documentation specifies "pathological fracture" and not a traumatic fracture.
• Avoid using this code for acute or active fractures; those require codes without the "S" seventh character.
