The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (Version 10) is an internationally accepted system for documenting principal diagnoses and concomitant diseases. German hospitals use the German ICD-10 codes to document to the health insurance providers the diagnoses during the patient's stay in hospital. For example, S72.0 codes for "fracture of neck of femur"
