1A64E

1A64E is a diagnostic code within the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) system. It specifically relates to "Other acquired deformities of toe(s)". This code is used by healthcare professionals to document conditions where a toe or toes have developed an abnormal shape or structure after birth, and which are not classified under other more specific diagnostic categories.

The '1' at the beginning of the code signifies a disease of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. The 'A' indicates a condition originating from the musculoskeletal system. The '64' segment further narrows the focus to acquired deformities of the extremities. The 'E' is a character that allows for further specificity within this category, signifying that the deformity is located in the toe(s) and is acquired, meaning it developed after birth due to various factors.

Examples of conditions that might be coded under 1A64E could include acquired hallux valgus (a bunion where the big toe deviates inward), hammertoes or claw toes that develop due to injury, disease, or improper footwear, or other acquired deviations or malformations of the toes. The specific cause or underlying condition leading to the acquired deformity would typically be documented separately in a patient's medical record. This code is used for billing, statistical tracking, and for communicating patient diagnoses between healthcare providers.
