Other specified congenital deformities of hip

This code identifies congenital malformations of the hip joint that are not classified as dislocation, subluxation, or specific types of coxa valga/vara. It encompasses a range of structural abnormalities present at birth affecting the hip's anatomy, excluding those with more specific ICD-10-CM codes.

Use this code when documentation specifies a congenital hip deformity that doesn't fit into more precise categories like congenital hip dislocation or coxa valga/vara. Examples include congenital acetabular dysplasia without dislocation, or other structural anomalies of the femoral head or acetabulum that are present from birth. Documentation should clearly state the congenital nature and the specific type of deformity.

• Do not use this code for acquired hip deformities; those require different codes.
• Always review documentation for more specific congenital hip diagnoses (e.g., Q65.0-Q65.81) before assigning this code.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "congenital" and describes the specific deformity to support this "other specified" category.
