Congenital deformities of hip
Chapter 17:Congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities
ICD-10 Q65 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital deformities of hip.
The ICD-10 Level 1 Category code Q65 pertains to congenital deformities of the hip, which encompass a variety of structural abnormalities present at birth that affect the hip joint. These deformities can include conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip, congenital dislocation of the hip, and other malformations that may impact the function and stability of the hip joint. Clinically, these conditions can lead to pain, limited mobility, and long-term complications if not addressed early in life. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes, often involving orthopedic assessments and potential surgical interventions to correct the deformities and restore proper hip function.

Q65 includes congenital deformities such as developmental dysplasia of the hip, congenital dislocation of the hip, and other malformations affecting the hip joint.
Q65 codes should be used when documenting congenital hip deformities identified at birth or during early childhood, particularly when treatment or monitoring is required.
Documentation for Q65 should include clinical evaluations, imaging results, and any treatment plans or interventions that have been implemented for the congenital hip deformity.
