A deformity that develops after skeletal maturity is reached is commonly referred to as adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). The review indicates greater frequency of pes planus among children with obesity or increasing weight status. Progressive pes planus (flatfoot) deformity in adults is a common entity that is encountered by orthopedic surgeons. No studies evaluated pain/complications related to pes planus. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M21.40 - other international versions of ICD-10 M21.40 may differ. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M21.40 became effective on October 1, 2021.
#Pes planus code
M21.40 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. This can cause just as much discomfort and issues of having a high arch. Flat foot pes planus (acquired), unspecified foot.
Nearly all studies indicated increasing pes planus in children with increasing weight. Pes planus is where there is no distinctive arch on the sole of the foot. Across all studies, pes planus prevalence among children with obesity ranged widely from 14 to 67%. Methods used to diagnose pes planus varied between studies: imaging modalities, anthropometric measurements and clinical examination. Thirteen cross-sectional studies of varied designs were identified. Terminology Pes planus is also known as flatfoot, planovalgus foot or fallen arches 7. Pes planus commonly referred to as flat feet, is a relatively common foot deformity and is defined by the loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot where it contacts or nearly contacts the ground.1 The arch of the foot is a tough, elastic connection of ligaments, tendons, and fascia between the forefoot and the hindfoot. Empirical articles published until September 2013 were obtained through an electronic search of MEDLINE and SPORTDiscus included articles examined the association between body weight and pes planus in children. Pes planus (plural: pedes plani) is a deformity of the foot where the longitudinal arch of the foot is abnormally flattened and can be congenital or acquired. To further elucidate whether this relation occurs, a systematic literature review on the co-occurrence of pes planus and paediatric obesity was conducted.
Children with obesity report musculoskeletal pain more than normal-weight children this could be linked with literature that suggests that there is a higher prevalence of pes planus (flatfoot) in children with obesity.
