Other specified congenital deformities of hip
ICD-10 Q65.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified congenital deformities of hip.
Congenital deformities of the hip encompass a variety of structural abnormalities that can affect the hip joint's formation and function. These deformities may arise from genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. Conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), where the hip joint does not properly form in infants and young children, are common examples. Other specified congenital deformities may include variations in the acetabulum or femoral head that do not fit into more defined categories. Accurate diagnosis often requires imaging studies and clinical evaluation. The impact of these deformities can range from mild to severe, potentially leading to pain, mobility issues, and the need for surgical intervention. Early detection and management are crucial to optimize outcomes and prevent long-term complications. In pediatric populations, these conditions necessitate a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists to ensure comprehensive care.

Consideration of family history and genetic predispositions in congenital cases.
Genetic testing results, family pedigree charts, and risk assessments.
Cases of congenital hip deformities with suspected genetic syndromes.
Understanding the genetic basis of congenital conditions and their implications for family planning.
Used in cases of severe congenital hip deformities requiring surgical intervention.
Operative reports detailing the procedure and indications.
Orthopedic documentation must include pre-operative assessments and post-operative follow-up.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical assessment, imaging results, and treatment plans. Ensure that the specific type of deformity is clearly stated to support the use of this code.
