ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
V54.25 — Aftercare for healing pathologic fracture of upper leg
About ICD-9-CM V54.25
V54.25 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for aftercare for healing pathologic fracture of upper leg. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as M84.453D (Pathological fracture, unspecified femur, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing) and M84.750D (Atypical femoral fracture, unspecified, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
