Webbed toes, unspecified foot

This code describes syndactyly of the toes, specifically when the digits are conjoined by soft tissue, without specifying which foot is affected. It represents a congenital anomaly where two or more toes are fused together, either partially or completely, by skin and sometimes underlying soft tissue.

Use this code when documentation indicates the presence of webbed toes without further specification of the affected foot (left or right). This is appropriate for initial evaluations or when laterality is not yet determined or explicitly documented. Supporting documentation would include physical exam findings noting syndactyly of the toes.

• Do not use this code if laterality (left or right foot) is clearly documented; instead, use the more specific codes Q70.31 or Q70.32.
• This code is for soft tissue webbing only; if there is bony fusion, a different code from the Q70 series (e.g., Q70.0-Q70.2-) should be considered.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "webbed toes" or "syndactyly of toes" to support this diagnosis.
