S72 - Fracture of femur
notes:
-A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
-A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
-The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification
Excludes 1:
-traumatic amputation of hip and thigh (S78.-)
Excludes 2:
-fracture of lower leg and ankle (S82.-)
-fracture of foot (S92.-)
-periprosthetic fracture of prosthetic implant of hip T84.040,T84.041)
sevenChrNote:
-The appropriate 7th character is to be added to all codes from category S72
