Congenital talipes calcaneovalgus, right foot

This code describes a congenital foot deformity characterized by a dorsiflexed, everted, and abducted right foot. The heel bone (calcaneus) is in a position of dorsiflexion, and the foot is turned outward (valgus) and away from the midline (abducted). This condition is present at birth.

Use this code for newborns or infants diagnosed with a congenital talipes calcaneovalgus deformity specifically affecting the right foot. Documentation should clearly state the laterality and the specific type of clubfoot deformity, distinguishing it from other talipes variations. This diagnosis is typically made through physical examination.

• Ensure laterality (right foot) is explicitly documented and matches the code.
• Differentiate from other congenital clubfoot deformities such as talipes equinovarus (Q66.0-Q66.2) or other specified congenital deformities of the foot (Q66.89).
• Code only when the condition is congenital; acquired foot deformities would fall under different code categories.
