77.53 — Other bunionectomy with soft tissue correction
About ICD-9-CM 77.53
77.53 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other bunionectomy with soft tissue correction. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 12 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0MQS0ZZ (Repair Right Foot Bursa and Ligament, Open Approach), 0MQS3ZZ (Repair Right Foot Bursa and Ligament, Percutaneous Approach) and 0MQS4ZZ (Repair Right Foot Bursa and Ligament, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
