Age-rel osteopor with current path fx, right pelvis, 7thK

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with osteoporosis primarily due to aging, who has sustained a pathological fracture of the right pelvis. The fracture is currently present and has failed to heal properly (nonunion), and the patient is receiving ongoing care for this specific fracture.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with age-related osteoporosis is being treated for a right pelvic fracture that has not united. Documentation should clearly state "nonunion" of the fracture and specify the right pelvis as the affected site, along with the underlying age-related osteoporosis.

• Always sequence the pathological fracture code first, followed by the underlying osteoporosis code (M80.0B1K then M81.0).
• Ensure documentation specifies "nonunion" and the laterality (right) of the pelvic fracture; otherwise, an unspecified or malunion code may be more appropriate.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (use 7th character A) or subsequent encounters with routine healing (use 7th character D).
