Congenital pes cavus, right foot

This code identifies a congenital deformity of the right foot characterized by an abnormally high arch that does not flatten with weight-bearing. This rigid foot structure can lead to altered biomechanics, pain, and difficulty with ambulation.

Use this code for patients diagnosed with a congenital high-arched right foot. Documentation should clearly state "congenital pes cavus" and specify the right foot, often noted in orthopedic or podiatric evaluations.

• Ensure documentation specifies "congenital" to differentiate from acquired pes cavus.
• Laterality is crucial; confirm the affected foot (right, left, or bilateral).
• Do not confuse with other foot deformities like pes planus (flatfoot) or talipes equinovarus (clubfoot).
