In simple words: Webbed toes on both feet.

This code represents the condition of webbed toes present on both feet.

Example 1: A newborn infant is examined and found to have webbing between the second and third toes of both feet. This condition, known as syndactyly, is classified as Q70.33., A 6-month-old child presents with bilateral cutaneous webbing between the fourth and fifth toes. Upon examination, it is observed that the fifth toe is slightly tucked under the fourth toe on both feet. This condition is documented as Q70.33., A prenatal ultrasound reveals that an unborn baby has bilateral webbing of the second and third toes. This finding suggests the presence of zygodactyly, and the code Q70.33 is noted for potential use after birth, if confirmed.

Documentation should specify the laterality (bilateral), the toes involved, and the type of syndactyly (simple or complex, complete or incomplete).

** Syndactyly (webbed toes) is a congenital condition present at birth where two or more toes are fused or webbed together. It occurs due to the incomplete separation of digits during fetal development. This condition can range from simple webbing of the skin to complex fusion of bones, nerves, and blood vessels. Syndactyly often has a genetic component and may be associated with other syndromes or congenital anomalies.
