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

This code signifies a fracture of the left pelvic bone that occurred due to age-related osteoporosis, where the fracture has not healed properly (nonunion). The patient is receiving ongoing care for this unhealed osteoporotic pelvic fracture.

Apply this code when a patient with age-related osteoporosis presents for follow-up care of a left pelvic fracture that has failed to unite. Documentation should clearly state "nonunion" of the fracture and specify "left pelvis" as the fracture site, with an underlying diagnosis of age-related osteoporosis.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nonunion" and not just delayed healing.
• Verify the laterality of the pelvic fracture (left vs. right).
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
