In simple words: This code describes a birth defect where the toes are connected by a web of skin. The code is used when it's not specified which foot is affected (left, right, or both).

This ICD-10-CM code classifies webbed toes in the unspecified foot.It refers to a congenital anomaly where the toes are joined by webbing, without specifying the affected foot (right, left, or bilateral). The webbing may involve only skin and soft tissue (simple syndactyly) or bone (complex syndactyly).

Example 1: A newborn infant is found to have webbed toes on one foot but the specific foot is not documented., A patient presents for a routine physical, and during examination the physician notes webbed toes on an unspecified foot., A pediatric surgeon documents a case of webbed toes in an operative report, with no specific mention of the affected foot.

Complete documentation is required for accurate coding. This should include:*Precise description of the affected digit(s).*Laterality (Right, Left, or Bilateral) if specified.*Clinical findings confirming the diagnosis.*Any relevant imaging or other diagnostic tests.

** This code should be used only for congenital webbed toes.Acquired webbing should be coded differently.
