Webbed toes, left foot

This code describes syndactyly affecting the toes of the left foot, where two or more digits are fused or joined by a web of skin. This congenital anomaly can range from a partial webbing to a complete fusion of the toes, impacting their appearance and potentially their function.

Use this code when documentation specifically indicates webbed toes are present on the patient's left foot. This typically applies to congenital conditions identified at birth or during early childhood examinations. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the presence and location of the syndactyly.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "left foot" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from polydactyly (supernumerary digits) or other congenital malformations of the foot.
• If both feet are affected, separate codes for each foot (Q70.31 for right, Q70.33 for bilateral) should be used.
