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.
Pressure sores are areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for too long. They commonly form where your bones are close to your skin, such as your ankles, back, elbows, heels and hips. You are at risk if you are bedridden, use a wheelchair, or are unable to change your position.

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 ( L97) and the excluded code together.
The American Podiatric Medical Association adds that “ (diabetic foot) ulcers form due to a combination of factors , such as lack of feeling in the foot, poor circulation, foot deformities, irritation (such as friction or pressure), and trauma, as well as duration of diabetes .”. They go on to note that “vascular disease can complicate a foot ulcer, ...
Pressure ulcers form in sites that experience shear or pressure, typically in tissue overlying bony prominences such as elbows, the sacrum, hips, or heels. After sacral, heel ulcers are the second most common type of pressure injury. The etymology of the term “decubitus ulcer” is from the Latin, decumbere, which means “to lie down,” ...
They often overlie a metatarsal head. Ischemic wounds manifest local signs of ischemia such as thin, shiny, hairless skin with pallor and coldness. These are often found at areas of friction and may be painful.
Diabetics are prone to foot ulcers, often with contributions from neuropathic, ischemic, and most commonly, neuro-ischemic (both) etiologies. Neuropathy occurs due to damage to the nerves and causes impaired sensation. After 10 years, ~90 percent of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics have some degree of neuropathy, most commonly affecting ...
Neuropathy occurs due to damage to the nerves and causes impaired sensation. After 10 years, ~90 percent of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics have some degree of neuropathy, most commonly affecting the feet and legs, and 90 percent of diabetic foot ulcers have diabetic neuropathy as a contributing factor. If the diabetic doesn’t recognize discomfort due ...
There are medical diagnoses that predispose patients to develop secondary conditions. Diabetes mellitus is a pervasive endocrinopathy whereby hyperglycemia affects every organ and system in the body, including the nerves and blood vessels. It makes a patient more prone to infection and poor healing.
Poorly controlled blood sugars weaken the small blood vessel walls and predispose patients to arteriosclerosis. This impairs the circulation and causes ischemia of the soft tissues, especially of the lower extremities.
