Congenital deformities of hip (Q65) ICD-10-CM
The Q65 code range covers congenital deformities of hip with 19 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 15 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the Q65 range.
Congenital Deformity of Hip
Any anatomic abnormality of the hip that is present at the time of birth.
Hip Dislocation, Congenital
Congenital dislocation of the hip generally includes subluxation of the femoral head, acetabular dysplasia, and complete dislocation of the femoral head from the true acetabulum. This condition occurs in approximately 1 in 1000 live births and is more common in females than in males.
About the Q65 Code Range
These hip deformities are present at birth. They include dislocation, partial dislocation, and an unstable hip.
The dislocation codes separate one hip, both hips, and an unspecified pattern: Q65.0, Q65.1, and Q65.2. Partial dislocation follows the same pattern under Q65.3, Q65.4, and Q65.5. The one-hip groups split further into right, left, or unspecified hip.
Q65.6 identifies an unstable hip. Q65.8 groups other congenital hip deformities, including coxa valga and coxa vara; Q65.9 identifies an unspecified hip deformity.
