Built from M84.434 with 7th character G (subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing).

Applies from M84 Disorder of continuity of bone

Excludes2 (not included here)

• traumatic fracture of bone-see fracture, by site

Applies from M84.4 Pathological fracture, not elsewhere classified

Applicable to

• Chronic fracture
• Pathological fracture NOS

Excludes1 (never code together)

• The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from subcategory M84.4:

7th character required

• A — initial encounter for fracture
• D — subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
• G — subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
• K — subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
• P — subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
• S — sequela
