In simple words: This code describes a birth defect where both feet are split, either completely or partially.This means parts of the foot, like the bones, are missing or not fully formed.

This ICD-10-CM code classifies the congenital condition of split foot affecting both lower limbs.It indicates a complete or partial longitudinal deficiency of the foot's structures, such as the tarsals, metatarsals, or phalanges, presenting bilaterally.

Example 1: A newborn infant is diagnosed with bilateral complete split foot, requiring immediate surgical intervention to correct the deformity and improve functional ability., A child presents with bilateral partial split foot, managed conservatively with custom-made orthotic devices to support foot structure and function during growth., An adult patient with a history of bilateral split foot undergoes a surgical procedure to address residual deformity, improve foot alignment, and reduce pain.

Detailed clinical notes describing the physical examination findings, including the extent of the deformity in both feet. Imaging studies (e.g., X-rays) confirming the diagnosis and documenting the skeletal abnormalities. Documentation of any surgical procedures performed, including the techniques used and the postoperative course.Notes on any orthotic devices prescribed, including the type, fitting, and adjustment details.Progress notes outlining the patient's response to treatment and any complications encountered.

** This code is used to report congenital split foot affecting both feet.The severity and specific anatomical details should be documented in the medical record to support the coding.
