S72.332 — Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left femur
Is S72.332 billable?
No — S72.332 is a non-billable header code. S72.332 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 16 billable codes beneath S72.332.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S72
The conditions below can never be reported together with S72.332 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- traumatic amputation of hip and thigh (S78.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S72.332 to fully describe the condition. S72.332 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S72.332, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.332 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S70-S79
The conditions below are not part of S72.332, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.332 and the excluded code may both be reported.
