Webbed fingers, right hand

This code describes syndactyly affecting the fingers of the right hand, specifically when the digits are joined by a web of skin. This congenital anomaly results from incomplete separation of the digits during fetal development.

Use this code for patients diagnosed with webbed fingers exclusively on their right hand. Documentation should clearly specify the laterality and the affected digits, even if the webbing is extensive. This code is appropriate for both initial diagnosis and follow-up care related to this specific condition.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right hand" to support this laterality-specific code.
• Distinguish from other congenital malformations of the hand; this code is solely for webbed fingers.
• If webbed fingers are present on both hands, use the appropriate bilateral code or codes for each hand.
