Aseptic necrosis is a bone condition that results from poor blood supply to an area of bone, causing localized bone death. This is a serious condition because the dead areas of bone do not function normally, are weakened, and can collapse. Aseptic necrosis is also referred to as avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis.
ICD-10 code M72. 6 for Necrotizing fasciitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
ICD-10-CM Code for Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of pelvis and femur M87. 05.
ICD-10 code: R02. 0 Necrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue, not elsewhere classified.
Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) include necrotizing forms of fasciitis, myositis, and cellulitis [1-3]. These infections are characterized clinically by fulminant tissue destruction, systemic signs of toxicity, and high mortality.
ICD-10-CM Code for Local infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified L08. 9.
Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of bone, other site M87. 08 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M87. 08 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Avascular necrosis is the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. Also called osteonecrosis, it can lead to tiny breaks in the bone and cause the bone to collapse. The process usually takes months to years. A broken bone or dislocated joint can stop the blood flow to a section of bone.

Gangrene is dead tissue (necrosis) consequent to ischemia. In the image above, we can see a black area on half of the big toe in a diabetic patient. This black area represents necrosis—dead tissue—in fact, gangrene of the big toe.
Q. Often with traumatic wounds or infection there will be documentation of devitalized tissue or necrotic wound edges or just some mention of necrotic tissue, the extent of the necrosis usually not known. No mention of gangrene. The ICD 10 indexing for necrosis defaults to coding R02.
Eschar is a type of necrotic tissue that is dryer than slough, adheres to the wound bed, and has a spongy or leather-like appearance.
Avascular necrosis (AVN), also called osteonecrosis, bone infarction, aseptic necrosis, and ischemic bone necrosis, is cellular death (necrosis) of bone components due to interruption of the blood supply. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses. If avascular necrosis involves the bones of a joint, it often leads to destruction of the joint articular surfaces. (see Osteochondritis dissecans).
