ICD-10 code: L89 Decubitus ulcer and pressure area - gesund.bund.de.
A decubitus ulcer is also known as a pressure ulcer, pressure sore, or bedsore. It's an open wound on your skin caused by a long period of constant pressure to a specific area of the body. Decreased blood flow to these areas leads to tissue damage and death. Decubitus ulcers often occur on the skin covering bony areas.
Stage 3 pressure ulcers involve full-thickness skin loss potentially extending into the subcutaneous tissue layer. Stage 4 pressure ulcers extend even deeper, exposing underlying muscle, tendon, cartilage or bone.
