What This Code Means

A condition where the big toe joint becomes stiff and rigid on the left foot, limiting its ability to bend.

Coding Tips

  • •Always verify laterality is documented as 'left' before assigning this code
  • •This code should not be used if the foot side is unspecified or bilateral; use appropriate bilateral coding if both feet are affected
