I'm struggling with which ICD 10 code to use for this diagnosis. The choices I've come up with are M92.62/M92.63, M77.31/M77.32 or M89.8X7. I've even considered hypertrophy of the foot/ankle M89.371/M89.372. Can anyone help me narrow this down? I use M95.8 for Haglunds. But is also can be determined by how big the deformity is.

Haglund's deformity is a bony enlargement on the back of the heel. The soft tissue near the Achilles tendon becomes irritated when the bony enlargement rubs against shoes.
Make sure to use 27654 for repair of the Achilles. By the time the patient seeks treatment, the Haglund's deformity has usually done some damage to the tendon. Thank you for your response. This is an office visit right now, but I'll keep this CPT code in mind if surgery is needed later and there is talk about tendon damage.

Haglund's deformity is an abnormality of the bone and soft tissues in the foot. An enlargement of the bony section of the heel (where the Achilles tendon is inserted) triggers this condition. The soft tissue near the back of the heel can become irritated when the large, bony lump rubs against rigid shoes.

The posterior heel spur is, at times, mistakenly called a Haglunds deformity. However, a true Haglunds does not involve the insertion of the Achilles tendon. It is an abnormal development of the Heel bone which forms a bone prominence above the point where the Achilles attaches to the heel.

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.
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.
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.
ICD-10 Code for Other acquired deformities of unspecified foot- M21. 6X9- Codify by AAPC. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. Arthropathies. Other joint disorders.
Equinus is the contracture of a joint- in this case the ankle joint. There are many reasons for this but ultimately what happens in the inability to place the heel on the ground properly when walking and loss of range of motion of joint.
When a Haglund's deformity develops, it will not go away without treatment. However, if symptoms are mild, the condition will not necessarily cause constant pain, and lifestyle measures can help manage it. However, the bone lump will not shrink. Only surgery will remove the additional once it develops.
Haglund's deformity is often called “pump bump” because the rigid backs of pump-style shoes can create pressure that aggravates the enlargement when walking. In fact, any shoes with a rigid back, such as ice skates, men's dress shoes or women's pumps, can cause this irritation.
Left untreated, the pain will only get worse and in addition to the irritation from the friction of footwear, bursitis can also develop. This occurs as the fluid-filled sac that is between the tendon and bone, known as the bursa, gets inflamed.
Haglund's deformity is a bony bump on the back of the heel bone, where your Achilles tendon attaches to your heel. The bump is often red and irritated and flares up on occasion, causing pain and swelling. This deformity usually develops due to shoe friction around the natural bony prominence at the back of the heel.
A foot deformity is a disorder of the foot that can be congenital or acquired.

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 M21.6X1 and a single ICD9 code, 736.79 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
The soft tissue near the Achilles tendon becomes irritated when the bony enlargement rubs against shoes. This often leads to painful bursitis, which is an inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac between the tendon and bone). Causes.
Non-surgical treatment of Haglund’s deformity is aimed at reducing the inflammation of the bursa. While these approaches can resolve the pain and inflammation, they will not shrink the bony protrusion. Non-surgical treatment can include one or more of the following: Medication.
The symptoms include: A noticeable bump on the back of the heel. Pain in the area where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel. Swelling in the back of the heel. Redness near the inflamed tissue. Diagnosis. After evaluating the patient’s symptoms, the foot and ankle surgeon will examine the foot.
Ice. To reduce swelling, apply an ice pack to the inflamed area , placing a thin towel between the ice and the skin.
In fact, any shoes with a rigid back, such as ice skates, men’s dress shoes, or women’s pumps, can cause this irritation. To some extent, heredity plays a role in Haglund’s deformity. Inherited foot structures that can make one prone to developing this condition include: A tendency to walk on the outside of the heel.
