ICD-10 Code G57.62 – Lesion of plantar nerve, left lower limb (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G57.62 – Lesion of plantar nerve, left lower limb
What it is
G57.62 identifies a disorder affecting the plantar nerve in the left lower limb. Use it when documentation specifies a lesion, entrapment, or other nontraumatic nerve problem at that site.
Clinical signs
Patients may have pain, numbness, tingling, or burning along the plantar foot. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and exam findings that support left plantar nerve involvement.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents lesion of the plantar nerve on the left side and the record does not indicate a traumatic nerve injury. It also fits localized neuropathic symptoms tied to that nerve distribution. Check documentation if the note only says foot pain or neuropathy without a named nerve.
Do not use for
Do not use G57.62 for right-sided plantar nerve disease, bilateral involvement, or unspecified lower-limb nerve lesions. Do not use it when the documentation describes a traumatic nerve injury or another distinct neuropathy.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and the specific plantar nerve wording in the note before assigning G57.62.
