S72.026S
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of epiphysis (separation) (upper) of unspecified femur, sequela
This code describes a healed, nondisplaced fracture of the upper femoral epiphysis, indicating a prior injury that has reached its final stage of healing with no residual displacement. This type of fracture, often seen in pediatric patients, involves the growth plate (epiphysis) at the top of the femur.
Use this code for documentation of a resolved Salter-Harris type I or II fracture of the proximal femur where the fracture line has closed and there is no ongoing treatment for the acute injury. This applies when the patient is presenting for follow-up related to the long-term effects or history of this specific injury, rather than active treatment.
