ICD-10 Code G57.63 – Lesion of plantar nerve, bilateral lower limbs (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G57.63 – Lesion of plantar nerve, bilateral lower limbs
What it is
G57.63 identifies a disorder affecting the plantar nerves in both lower limbs. Use it when documentation specifically states lesion, injury, or neuropathy of the plantar nerve on both sides.
Clinical signs
Patients may report pain, numbness, tingling, or burning in the plantar aspect of both feet. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents bilateral plantar nerve involvement and does not assign a more specific diagnosis. It may fit notes describing plantar nerve entrapment, neuralgia, or neuropathic symptoms affecting both feet. Check documentation for laterality and specificity before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for unilateral plantar nerve lesions or for nonspecific foot pain without nerve involvement. If the record names a different peripheral nerve or another cause, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and the exact nerve named in the note before selecting G57.63.
