Age-rel osteopor w crnt path fx, r femr, 7thK

This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture of the right femur due to age-related osteoporosis, where the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion). This specific encounter is for ongoing management of the nonunion, not the initial treatment of the fracture.

Use this code for follow-up visits or hospitalizations where the primary focus is the management of a nonunion of a right femoral fracture, which was caused by underlying age-related osteoporosis. Documentation should clearly state "nonunion" and specify the right femur as the fracture site, with osteoporosis as the etiology.

• Always sequence the pathological fracture code first, followed by the underlying osteoporosis code (M80.051K then M81.0).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nonunion" and the specific bone involved (right femur).
• Distinguish from malunion (M80.051P) or routine follow-up for a healing fracture (M80.051D).
