2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M77. 42: Metatarsalgia, left foot.
Stage 1: Intact skin with non- blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence. Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; its color may differ from surrounding area. Stage 2: Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough.
L89. 524 - Pressure ulcer of left ankle, stage 4. ICD-10-CM.
Pressure ulcers (also known as pressure sores or bedsores) are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue, primarily caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. They can happen to anyone, but usually affect people confined to bed or who sit in a chair or wheelchair for long periods of time.
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.
Grade 2. In grade 2 pressure ulcers, some of the outer surface of the skin (the epidermis) or the deeper layer of skin (the dermis) is damaged, leading to skin loss. The ulcer looks like an open wound or a blister.
Pressure Ulcer Stages: ICD-10-CM codes from category L89 classifies Pressure Ulcer Stages based on severity, which is designated by stages 1 to 4, unspecified stage, and unstageable.
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.
When there is no documentation regarding the stage of the pressure ulcer, assign the appropriate code for unspecified stage (L89. 009).
Stage 3 bedsores (also known as stage 3 pressure sores, pressure injuries, or decubitus ulcers) are deep and painful wounds in the skin. They are the third of four bedsore stages. These sores develop when a stage 2 bedsore penetrates past the top layers of skin but has yet not reached muscle or bone.
Stage 1 ulcers have not yet broken through the skin. Stage 2 ulcers have a break in the top two layers of skin. Stage 3 ulcers affect the top two layers of skin, as well as fatty tissue. Stage 4 ulcers are deep wounds that may impact muscle, tendons, ligaments, and bone.

Plantar fasciitis uses the diagnostic code M72.2. This diagnostic code applies to bilateral or unilateral plantar fasciitis, and the full name of the condition is “plantar fascial fibromatosis”. It contains annotation back-refereces to M00-M99 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue) and M72 (fibroblastic disorders).
Here are a few common codes that might describe your condition: M79.673 – is the code for pain in an unspecified foot or heel. M79.671 is the code for bilateral foot or heel pain, or pain in the right foot.
The International Classification of Diseases Tenth Revision, or ICD-10, is the latest version of a coding system that has been used as far back as 1763 to identify and classify diseases and other health problems . These diagnostic codes are used by doctors, insurance companies, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to categorize diseases and health problems for statistical and reimbursement purposes.
Heel pain often resolves on its own over time, or with home remedies like stretching, icing, and resting. Orthotic inserts are another common way to support heel pain and can help cushion and realign the foot.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M72.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A superficial fibromatosis arising from soft tissue of the plantar regions. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts, hypercellularity, and an infiltrative growth pattern. An inflammation of the plantar fascia, the tissue along the bottom of your foot that connects the heel bone to the toes.
Pressure ulcers are deemed patient safety indicators and hospital acquired conditions because a concerted program for prevention and treatment can prevent them and protect our patients from iatrogenic harm. The diagnosis of a “pressure ulcer” may trigger prevalence and incident reporting.
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.
A “diabetic foot ulcer,” which is caused exclusively by hyperglycemia, in the absence of neuropathy or ischemia, is a rarity. That term almost always refers to an ulcer on the foot of a diabetic that derives from neuro/ischemic etiology, as opposed to being strictly and principally due to pressure injury.
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, reducing the body’s ability to heal and increasing the risk for an infection.”
Neuropathy results in malum perforans pedis (a.k.a. bad perforating foot) ulcers. These are painless, non-necrotic, circular lesions circumscribed by hyperkeratosis. 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.
Shear and pressure are the mechanisms that lead to what are known as “pressure injuries.” In 2016, the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) recommended transitioning to the terminology of “pressure injury” because although underlying tissue may be damaged, overlying skin may appear intact. Pressure injuries with skin breakdown are considered pressure ulcers. An additional L89 code specifies the stage (depth of tissue injury) and the anatomical site.
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,” ...
