Osteitis deformans of right ankle and foot

This code signifies Paget's disease affecting the bones of the right ankle and/or foot. It describes a chronic bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling, leading to enlarged, deformed, and weakened bone structures in this specific anatomical location.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of Paget's disease (osteitis deformans) localized to the right ankle and/or foot. Supporting documentation would include imaging reports (X-rays, bone scans) showing characteristic Pagetic changes, and physician notes confirming the diagnosis and affected site.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right" for the ankle and/foot.
• Do not confuse with other forms of osteitis or localized bone conditions; this code is specific to Paget's disease.
• Code additional manifestations or complications of Paget's disease (e.g., pathological fracture) separately, if documented.
