| Abstract: | Summary In women age 45 years and older, enrolled in an integrated group practice in 2007, use of ICD9 diagnostic codes, including the “not otherwise specified” code (821.00) resulted in a high false-positive rate for identifying femoral diaphyseal fractures. Restriction to more specific site-codes missed 36% of these rare fractures. |
