Code Classification

  • Diseases of the nervous system
    (G00–G99)
    • Nerve, nerve root and plexus disorders
      (G50-G59)
      • Mononeuropathies of lower limb
        (G57)

G57.5 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Tarsal tunnel syndrome

Non-specific codes like G57.5 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for tarsal tunnel syndrome:

  • Use G57.50 for Tarsal tunnel syndrome, unspecified lower limb - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G57.51 for Tarsal tunnel syndrome, right lower limb - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G57.52 for Tarsal tunnel syndrome, left lower limb - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G57.53 for Tarsal tunnel syndrome, bilateral lower limbs - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

    entrapment of the distal branches of the posterior tibial nerve (which divides into the medial plantar, lateral plantar, and calcanial nerves) in the tarsal tunnel, which lies posterior to the internal malleolus and beneath the retinaculum of the flexor muscles of the foot. symptoms include ankle pain radiating into the foot which tends to be aggravated by walking. examination may reveal tinel's sign (radiating pain following nerve percussion) over the tibial nerve at the ankle, weakness and atrophy of the small foot muscles, or loss of sensation in the foot. (from foot ankle 1990;11(1):47-52)
  • Tibial Nerve

    the medial terminal branch of the sciatic nerve. the tibial nerve fibers originate in lumbar and sacral spinal segments (l4 to s2). they supply motor and sensory innervation to parts of the calf and foot.
  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

    a syndrome resulting from the entrapment and compression of the tibial nerve. signs and symptoms include burning sensation, tingling, and pain in the foot sole.
