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.

Whilst hallux valgus is a common foot deformity, it does not cause severe problems in all patients. The deformity of the toes seen in hallux valgus often bothers female patients: They consider it a cosmetic problem. In this case problems related to hallux valgus usually occur above the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Same Procedures, New Codes While codes 28290, 28293 and 28294 were deleted, the procedures formerly falling under these codes were not. For Silver procedures formerly reported with 28290, now use 28292. For procedures involving implants inserted at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, use code 28291 instead of 28293.
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.
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.
Many women have a bunion — a deformity of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at the base of the big toe. A bunion develops when the first metatarsal bone of the foot turns outward and the big toe points inward (toward the other toes), causing the joint to jut out (see "Anatomy of a bunion").
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.
ICD-10-CM Code for Bunion of left foot M21. 612.
Hallux valgus interphalangeus is a deformity of the big toe characterised by an abnormal (valgus) angulation between the two bones (proximal and distal phalanx) forming the end of the big toe. It is considered present if the two end bones (proximal and distal phalanx) forms an angle exceeding 10 degrees.
Hallux valgus is a lateral deviation of the great toe (great toe points toward the lesser toes-away from the center of the body) at the MTPJ.
Thus, hallux valgus is one of the presumptive diseases on the list for service-connected disabilities, and the veteran is entitled to disability benefits and disability compensation.
Most hallux valgus surgeries consist of several of the following procedures:Repositioning the bone (osteotomy): This straightens the foot ray.Soft tissue correction (lateral release): A rigid misalignment can be straightened by correcting the joint capsule.Tendon correction: ... Treating the metatarsophalangeal joint:
Seven treatment options emerged as being commonly recommended by podiatrists for one or more patient types: advice regarding different footwear, custom orthotic devices, prefabricated orthotic devices, footwear modification, in-shoe padding, bunion shield padding, and muscle strengthening/retraining exercises (See Fig.
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.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code M20.1 is a non-billable code.
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. It is characterized by medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone and lateral deviation of the hallux (big toe), often erroneously described as an enlargement of bone or tissue around the joint at the bottom of the big toe (known as the metatarsophalangeal joint).
