The sacrum, sometimes called the sacral vertebra or sacral spine (S1), is a large, flat triangular shaped bone nested between the hip bones and positioned below the last lumbar vertebra (L5). The coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, is below the sacrum.
The coccyx is a triangular bone that consists of 3 to 5 fused segments, the largest of which articulates with the lowest sacral segment. In addition, the first coccygeal segment contains rudimentary articular processes called the coccygeal cornua that articulate with the sacral cornua.
An ischial pressure ulcer is a wound that develops on the lower part of the buttocks due to prolonged pressure. The affected area is called the ischium, the curved portion of the pelvic bone, or the bone that is usually felt while sitting down.

The human coccyx is the final portion of the vertebral column, typically comprised of three to five vertebral segments.
The sacral region (sacrum) is at the bottom of the spine and lies between the fifth segment of the lumbar spine (L5) and the coccyx (tailbone). The sacrum is a triangular-shaped bone and consists of five segments (S1-S5) that are fused together.

Most often appearing on the buttocks, pressure sores also formulate on bony areas of the body, such as the tailbone (coccyx). Pressure relief seat cushions help immensely to alleviate the pressure, shear, and friction that can lead to pressure sore development.
At stage 2, the skin breaks open, wears away, or forms an ulcer, which is usually tender and painful. The sore expands into deeper layers of the skin. It can look like a scrape (abrasion), blister, or a shallow crater in the skin. Sometimes this stage looks like a blister filled with clear fluid.

Ulceration caused by prolonged pressure in patients permitted to lie too still for a long period of time; bony prominences of the body are the most frequently affected sites; ulcer is caused by ischemia of the underlying structures of the skin, fat, and muscles as a result of the sustained and constant pressure. Codes.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( L89) and the excluded code together.
The sequence depends on the pressure ulcer being treated. If all the pressure ulcers are being treated, sequence the code for the most severe pressure ulcer first. Example: A patient with a stage 3 pressure ulcer on her left heel and a stage 2 pressure ulcer of her left hip is scheduled for debridement.
An unstageable ulcer is when the base of the ulcer is covered in eschar or slough so much that it cannot be determined how deep the ulcer is. This diagnosis is determined based on the clinical documentation. This code should not be used if the stage is not documented.
Pressure ulcers are areas of damaged skin and tissue developing as a result of compromised circulation. When a patient stays in one position without movement, the weight of the bones against the skin inhibits circulation and causes an ulceration of the tissue. Pressure ulcers usually form near the heaviest bones (buttocks, hips, and heels).
Pressure ulcers usually form near the heaviest bones (buttocks, hips, and heels). There are stages of pressure ulcers that identify the extent of the tissue damage. Stage 1—Persistent focal erythema. Stage 2—Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both.
If the pressure ulcer is healed completely , a code is not reported for the pressure ulcer. There are some cases where the pressure ulcer will get worse during the course of the admission. For example, the patient is admitted for treatment of a stage 2 ulcer that progresses to stage 3.
