Congenital talipes calcaneovalgus, left foot

This code describes a congenital foot deformity affecting the left foot, characterized by an upward and outward deviation. The foot is dorsiflexed and everted, often appearing flat or rocker-bottomed, due to abnormal positioning during fetal development.

This code is appropriate for documenting a newborn or infant diagnosed with a congenital talipes calcaneovalgus deformity specifically affecting the left foot. Documentation should clearly indicate the laterality and the calcaneovalgus presentation, distinguishing it from other clubfoot variations.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left foot" to support laterality.
• Differentiate from other congenital clubfoot deformities like talipes equinovarus (Q66.0-).
• Consider additional codes for associated congenital anomalies if present.
