Other specified mononeuropathies of right lower limb

This code signifies a mononeuropathy affecting a specific, named nerve in the right lower extremity, other than those explicitly classified elsewhere (e.g., sciatica, meralgia paresthetica). It indicates nerve damage or dysfunction leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the distribution of that particular nerve.

Apply this code when documentation specifies a mononeuropathy of the right lower limb that doesn't have a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Examples include peroneal nerve entrapment, tibial nerve neuropathy, or sural nerve entrapment affecting the right leg. Documentation should clearly identify the affected nerve and the laterality.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right lower limb" and a particular nerve (e.g., common peroneal, posterior tibial) to differentiate from unspecified or bilateral conditions.
• Do not use this code for generalized polyneuropathies or radiculopathies; these have distinct codes.
• If the specific nerve is not documented, consider using a more general unspecified mononeuropathy code for the lower limb.
