Hammertoe is a deformity that causes the toe to bend upward at the middle joint. It is more common in women and can affect one or more toes. Symptoms include toe deformity, pain, and difficulty walking. Treatment options range from padding and splints for mild cases to surgery to remove bone prominences for severe cases. The condition is coded using ICD-10 codes depending on whether it is acquired or congenital, and CPT codes if surgery is performed. Outsourcing medical billing and coding services can help podiatrists with reimbursement tasks.
