Other specified acquired deformities of left thigh

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

An acquired deformity or abnormal shape of the left thigh that developed after birth due to injury, disease, or other non-congenital causes.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure left thigh is specifically documented to differentiate from right-sided deformities
  • •Consider if deformity affects lower extremity alignment or function, which may warrant additional diagnostic codes
