What This Code Means

A deformity of the left foot where the foot is twisted inward and downward, causing the sole to face inward, which develops after birth rather than being present from birth.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm the clubfoot is acquired (post-birth) rather than congenital to use this code series
  • •Document whether this is a result of trauma, neuromuscular disease, or other underlying condition
