2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M21.961. Unspecified acquired deformity of right lower leg. M21.961 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The ICD-10-CM code M24. 573 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like contracture of ankle joint, equinus contracture of the ankle or joint contracture of the ankle and foot. What is an equinus foot? Equinus is a condition in which the upward bending motion of the ankle joint is limited.
If the ankle joint dorsiflexes greater than 90° with both the knee extended and flexed, there is no equinus. If the ankle joint dorsi- flexes greater than 90° with the knee flexed by less than 90° with the knee extended, the result is gastrocnemius equinus. What is acquired Equinovarus deformity?
When the ankle joint lacks flexibility and upward, toes-to-shin movement of the foot (dorsiflexion) is limited, the condition is called equinus. Equinus is a result of tightness in the Achilles tendon or calf muscles (the soleus muscle and/or gastrocnemius muscle) and it may be either congenital or acquired.
During these periods of rapid growth, muscle contractures can occur, especially equinus deformity. Equinus is defined as the inability to dorsiflex the ankle enough to allow the heel to contact the supporting surface without some form of compensa- tion in the mechanics of the lower limb and foot.

Sometimes equinus is related to a bone blocking the ankle motion. For example, a fragment of a broken bone following an ankle injury, or bone block, can get in the way and restrict motion. Equinus may also result from one leg being shorter than the other. Less often, equinus is caused by spasms in the calf muscle.

Club foot (also called talipes) is where a baby is born with a foot or feet that turn in and under. Early treatment should correct it. In club foot, 1 foot or both feet point down and inwards with the sole of the foot facing backwards.
Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), often known as 'club-foot', is a common but little studied developmental disorder of the lower limb. It is defined as fixation of the foot in adduction, in supination and in varus, i.e. inclined inwards, axially rotated outwards and pointing downwards (Fig. 1).
Foot deformities are a wide array of conditions that affect the bones and tendons in the feet. A foot deformity can be as common as a bunion or a hammer toe, or rarer like fused toes (tarsal coalition), a club foot, a flat foot, mallet toes and various other foot conditions.
Cavus foot is a condition in which the foot has a very high arch. Though uncommon in young children, cavus foot can occur at any age and affect one or both feet. Cavus feet can look different depending on how high the arch is, what is causing the condition, and if the condition is causing pain.
Cavovarus Foot Deformity. A cavovarus foot deformity usually appears during childhood. The arch is very high and the heel slants inward. Both feet are often affected and the misalignment gradually worsens over time. Pain, calluses, ankle sprains and stress fractures are all common results of cavovarus foot deformity.
