Joint Replacement Hip
My patient suffered from a hip fracture in 2015, the fracture was treated surgically with internal fixation. In March of 2016 the pins were removed. The patient did pretty well following the removal of pins but later developed pain in the hip, imaging confirmed avascular necrosis and collapse of femoral head. The record indicates reason for joint replacement was due to "pain due to internal orthopedic dev/graft" T84.84XA and AVN M87.051.
Should my primary be Z47.1? If not what should it be?
