Oth osteopor w current path fracture, unsp site, sequela

This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture due to osteoporosis, where the specific type of osteoporosis is not documented, and the fracture has healed or is in the healing phase, indicating it is a sequela. It represents the long-term effects or complications of a previous osteoporotic fracture.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a healed or healing pathological fracture due to unspecified osteoporosis, and the fracture itself is no longer acute. This is typically used for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or when the fracture's long-term impact is being addressed. Ensure the medical record clearly states "sequela" or implies a healed/healing fracture.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the current encounter, if applicable.
• Do not use this code for acute pathological fractures; instead, use the appropriate M80.8- code without the "S" seventh character.
• If the type of osteoporosis is known (e.g., age-related, drug-induced), use the more specific M80.0- or M80.1- codes with the "S" seventh character.
