Other congenital valgus deformities of feet

This code describes a congenital foot deformity where the foot is everted or angled outward from the midline of the leg, excluding congenital talipes valgus (Q66.4). This condition is present at birth and involves an abnormal outward angulation of the foot, often affecting the hindfoot or midfoot.

Use this code for documentation explicitly stating "congenital valgus deformity of foot" or similar terminology, where the specific type of valgus deformity is not otherwise classified. This code is appropriate when the physician's notes confirm a congenital origin and the valgus deformity is not clubfoot (talipes).

• Ensure documentation specifies "congenital" to differentiate from acquired valgus deformities.
• Distinguish carefully from Q66.4 (Congenital talipes valgus), which is a more specific type of congenital valgus clubfoot.
• Code laterality (left, right, bilateral) using the appropriate seventh character or associated laterality codes if available.
