Congenital talipes equinovarus, right foot

This code describes a congenital deformity of the right foot where the foot is turned inward and downward, resembling a clubfoot. It is a structural birth defect affecting the bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, resulting in a fixed equinus and varus position.

Use this code for a newborn or child diagnosed with a clubfoot deformity specifically affecting the right foot. Documentation should clearly state "congenital talipes equinovarus" and specify the laterality as "right." This code is appropriate for initial diagnosis and subsequent encounters related to the management of this specific condition.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right foot" to support this specific code.
• Do not use this code for acquired clubfoot or other foot deformities; those have different ICD-10-CM codes.
• Consider additional codes for associated congenital anomalies if present and documented.
