Understanding ICD-10 Code 722.83: Congenital Lower Limb Anomalies

The ICD-10-CM code 722.83 stands for "Other specified congenital anomalies of lower limb, foot and toe". This code is used to describe a variety of congenital anomalies of the lower limb, foot, and toe that are not specifically described by other codes in the 722.8 category. Examples of conditions that may be coded as 722.83 include:

- Congenital absence of the tibia

- Congenital absence of the fibula

- Congenital bowing of the tibia

- Congenital bowing of the fibula

- Congenital dislocation of the knee

- Congenital dislocation of the ankle

- Congenital clubfoot

- Congenital pes cavus

- Congenital pes planus

It is important to note that this code should only be used when the specific anomaly cannot be classified under any other code in the 722.8 category. If the specific anomaly is described by another code in this category, that code should be used instead.
