M84.751 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for incomplete atypical femoral fracture, right leg. It belongs to category M84 (disorder of continuity of bone), block M80-M85 (disorders of bone density and structure) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.
