Patient presents with complaints consistent with hip fracture.  Onset of symptoms occurred on [Date of onset] following a [Mechanism of injury: e.g., fall from standing height, low-impact trauma, twisting injury].  Patient reports severe pain in the [Location: e.g., right hip, left hip, groin] radiating to the [Radiation: e.g., thigh, buttock, lower back].  Pain is exacerbated by movement and weight-bearing.  Patient exhibits [Symptoms: e.g., antalgic gait, inability to bear weight, shortening of the affected limb, external rotation of the affected leg].  Physical examination reveals [Findings: e.g., tenderness to palpation over the greater trochanter, limited range of motion in the hip joint, ecchymosis].  Differential diagnosis includes hip dislocation, femoral neck stress fracture, avulsion fracture, and trochanteric bursitis.  Preliminary diagnosis of hip fracture is suspected.  Ordered imaging studies including [Imaging ordered: e.g., X-ray of the hip, CT scan, MRI] to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific fracture type (e.g., intertrochanteric fracture, femoral neck fracture, subtrochanteric fracture).  Treatment plan pending imaging results may include pain management with analgesics, surgical intervention (e.g., open reduction internal fixation ORIF, hip replacement surgery), or conservative management with traction and immobilization.  Patient education provided regarding fall prevention, bone health, and potential complications of hip fractures such as avascular necrosis and nonunion.  Follow-up appointment scheduled for [Date of follow-up] to discuss imaging results and finalize treatment plan.  ICD-10 code S72.  Procedure codes pending treatment decision.
