ICD-10 Code for Hallux valgus (acquired), left foot- M20. 12- Codify by AAPC.
Hallux valgus is the most common deformity of the forefoot and the toes. 23% of 18-65 year olds and over 35% of those over 65 years have hallux valgus. Due to the noticeable form it's also referred to as a bunion or ganglion. Here the big toe moves out of its alignment and points toward the outside edge of the foot.
Hallux valgus deformity is a very common pathological condition which commonly produces painful disability. It is characterised as a combined deformity with a malpositioning of the first metatarsophalangeal joint caused by a lateral deviation of the great toe and a medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone.

Bunions (also known as hallux valgus) occur when there is misalignment of the first metatarsal (one of five long bones that run from mid-foot to the toes) in relation to the big toe. The often-noticeable "bump" is not new bone or overgrowth of bone but actually the metatarsal itself.
Unlike hallux rigidus, hallux valgus is the result of your bones shifting, with the resulting protrusion going outwards, and not upwards like with hallux rigidus's osteophyte. Hallux valgus, or a bunion, with a bump on the left big toe.
Hallux valgus is a deformity at the base of the big toe, or metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, in which the great toe (hallux) is deviated or points toward the lesser toes; in severe types of the deformity, the great toe goes over or under the second toe.
1: Hallux valgus surgery corrects a misalignment of the big toe. Usually the bone in the big toe is corrected in conjunction with the correction of the soft tissue of the joint capsule of the metatarsophalangeal joint.
This foot deformity occurs from years of pressure on the big toe joint (the metatarsophalangeal, or MTP, joint). Eventually, the toe joint gets out of alignment, and a bony bump forms. The medical term for bunions is hallux abducto valgus.

Synopsis Hallux valgus is a progressive deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint that changes the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot. To date, surgery is the only treatment to correct this deformity, though the recurrence rate is as high as 15%.
What is a Bunion? A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus or hallux abducto valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot.
The ICD code M201 is used to code Bunion. A bunion is a deformity of the joint connecting the big toe to the foot and is known as a hallux abducto valgus among medical professionals.

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 M20.10 and a single ICD9 code, 735.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
