Fused toes, right foot

This diagnosis code signifies the congenital fusion of one or more toes on the patient's right foot, a condition also known as syndactyly. This fusion can involve soft tissue, bone, or both, resulting in a webbed or conjoined appearance of the digits.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states "fused toes, right foot" or "syndactyly of the right foot." This code is appropriate for congenital conditions and should be used when the laterality of the affected foot is clearly specified.

• Ensure the documentation specifies the right foot; separate codes exist for the left foot and bilateral involvement.
• Do not confuse with acquired conditions like adhesions or contractures; this code is for congenital fusion.
• Consider additional codes for any associated congenital anomalies or functional impairments, if documented.
