ICD-10-CM Code for Calcaneal spur, left foot M77. 32.
M77. 3 - Calcaneal spur. ICD-10-CM.
A posterior calcaneal spur develops on the back of the heel at the insertion of the Achilles tendon. An inferior calcaneal spur consists of a calcification of the calcaneus, which lies superior to the plantar fascia at the insertion of the plantar fascia.
The plantar calcaneal spur (PCS) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity and has been studied using various methods including cadavers, radiography, histology and surgery.
Pain on the back of the heel if often caused by an overgrowth of bone on the back of the heel bone (calcaneus). This is called a retrocalcaneal exostosis. Retrocalcaneal exostosis problems are often related to chronic tugging of a tight Achilles tendon on the back of the heel.
Retrocalcaneal enthesophytes are painful bone spurs at the insertion of the Achilles tendon (1). The rigid and prominent posterior heel spurs can lead to irritation of the overlying soft tissue and inflammation of the anterosuperior bursa of the Achilles tendon (2, 3, 4).
Calcaneal spurs are bony growths at the back of the heel (dorsal) or under the sole of the foot (plantar). Dorsal spurs are associated with Achilles tendinopathy and plantar with plantar fascitis.
But, are heel spurs and plantar fasciitis the same? Long story short, no, they are different issues. The difference between a heel spur and plantar fasciitis is that one is a calcium deposit, or bone growth (spur), and one is inflammation of a ligament.
A calcaneal spur (or heel spur) is a small osteophyte (bone spur) located on the calcaneus (heel bone). Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by a radiological examination (X-ray).

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M77.31 and a single ICD9 code, 726.73 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
