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

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with age-related osteoporosis who has sustained a pathological fracture in an unspecified part of the pelvis. The fracture is currently experiencing nonunion, meaning it has failed to heal, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to this unhealed fracture.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with age-related osteoporosis is being managed for a pelvic pathological fracture that has not healed (nonunion). Documentation should clearly state "age-related osteoporosis," "pathological fracture," "pelvis" (without further specificity), and "nonunion" during a follow-up visit.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nonunion" for the fracture; otherwise, a code for routine healing or delayed healing might be more appropriate.
• Always sequence this code after the primary osteoporosis code (M80.0-).
• If the specific site within the pelvis is known (e.g., ilium, ischium), a more specific code within the M80.0B- series should be used.
