ICD-10-CM Code for Other hammer toe(s) (acquired) M20. 4.
A hammertoe is curled due to a bend in the middle joint of the toe. Hammertoe and mallet toe are foot deformities that occur due to an imbalance in the muscles, tendons or ligaments that normally hold the toe straight.
Hammer toes (also known as claw toes, mallet toes or retracted toes) are toes that are permanently bent. Hammer toes are caused by hallux valgus or because your toes are squashed by poorly fitting shoes and/or socks. Hammer toes are most common in people who have bunions or high-arched feet.
M20. 42 Other hammer toe(s) (acquired), left foot - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
Hammertoe affects the second or middle joint in the toe causing it to bend downward. It typically affects a single toe, most commonly the second toe. Claw toe affects one or more of the little toes and can happen to all four toes. It can affect the middle and end toe joints and cause the toes to bend and curl under.
Your doctor can diagnose hammertoe or mallet toe by examining your foot. Your doctor might order X-rays to further evaluate the bones and joints of your feet and toes.
Tailor's bunions (also called bunionettes) may develop as a sensitive bump on the smallest, outer toe. Hammertoes happen when there's an abnormal bend in the middle joint of a toe, causing the tip of the toe to bend and face downward.
Use a pumice stone: The corn or callus that forms on top of the hammertoe can cause discomfort when you wear shoes. Use a file or pumice stone after a warm bath to reduce the corn or callus' size. Then, apply emollients to keep the area soft and pliable.

There is no effective nonsurgical treatment that can correct a hammertoe deformity. Patients may find a relief by using shoes with a wide toe box, open-toe shoes, or custom shoes. Exercises of the intrinsic muscles in the foot can promote more muscle balance.
Hammertoes are progressive—they do not go away by themselves and usually they will get worse over time. However, not all cases are alike—some hammertoes progress more rapidly than others. Once your foot and ankle surgeon has evaluated your hammertoes, a treatment plan can be developed that is suited to your needs.
The most common surgical procedure for hammertoes is proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fusion. The toe is straightened and stabilized by permanently fusing the two bones together. The traditional way to do this is by cutting the ends of the bones in the joint and joining them together.
