The ICD-10-CM code L89.309 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like pressure ulcer of buttock or pressure ulcer of skin of right ischial tuberosity region. Unspecified diagnosis codes like L89.309 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition.

Definition & Overview 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.

pelvisThe ischium (Latin: os ischii) is a paired bone of the pelvis that forms the lower and back part of the hip bone, as well as the posterior and inferior boundary of the obturator foramen. The ischium consists of two main parts: Body of the ischium - the portion that forms the posterior one-third of the acetabulum.
The ischium (/ˈɪski. əm/) forms the lower and back region of the hip bone (os coxae). Left hip-joint, opened by removing the floor of the acetabulum from within the pelvis. (Ischium labeled at bottom left.)
ICD-10 code L97. 909 for Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of unspecified lower leg with unspecified severity is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
Venous ulcers (also known as venous stasis ulcers or nonhealing wounds) are open wounds occurring around the ankle or lower leg. They do not heal for weeks or months, and occasionally persist longer.
The term “non-pressure ulcer” was coined to designate a primary mechanism other than shear or pressure. If there is poor circulation, such as that caused by venous or arterial insufficiency or excessive moisture or trauma, a patient may develop a non-pressure ulcer.

159 for Pressure ulcer of sacral region, unspecified stage is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
Although there isn't a specific ICD-10-CM code for pain in the buttock, you can use M79. 1 Myalgia.
Your ischial tuberosity is the lower part of your pelvis that's sometimes referred to as your sit bones. It helps to absorb your weight when you sit. However, it can also cause pain when a nearby fluid-filled sac, called the ischial bursa, becomes inflamed and causes ischial bursitis.
They're most common on bony parts of the body, such as the heels, elbows, hips and base of the spine. They often develop gradually, but can sometimes form in a few hours.
CPT® Code 15945 in section: Excision, ischial pressure ulcer, with skin flap closure.
The ischial tuberosity (or tuberosity of the ischium, tuber ischiadicum), also known colloquially as the sit bones or sitz bones, or as a pair the sitting bones, is a large swelling posteriorly on the superior ramus of the ischium. It marks the lateral boundary of the pelvic outlet. Capsule of hip-joint (distended).
Häufig entstehen diese Hautschäden, wenn der Körper sehr geschwächt ist. Man hat dann oft keine Kraft, sich alleine zu bewegen. Wenn man viel und lange liegt, wirkt über längere Zeit ein Druck auf die gleiche Stelle. Wenn länger Druck auf die Haut einwirkt, dann wird die Haut weniger durchblutet und kann geschädigt werden.

ischial tuberosity. Type: Term. Definitions: 1. the rough bony projection at the junction of the lower end of the body of the ischium and its ramus; this is a weight-bearing point in the sitting position; provides attachment for the sacrotuberous ligament and is the site of origin of the hamstring muscles.
Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (L00-L99) Excludes 2: certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96) certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99) complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
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.
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.
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.
