Pressure ulcer L89- >. ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I83.0 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I83.2 "Includes" further defines, or give examples of, the content of the code or category. An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure on the skin and tissues when one stays in one position for a long period of time, such as lying in bed.
Pressure ulcer with necrosis of soft tissues through to underlying muscle, tendon, or bone, left buttock ICD-10 code L89.324 is based on the following Tabular structure:
Patient has an ulcer on his BKA stump, which is documented to be due to the prosthesis. Should this be coded to L89.- Pressure injury, T87.- Complications peculiar to reattachment and amputation, or L97 Ulcer of lower limb, not elsewhere classified? 2.

Pressure ulcer of unspecified site, unspecified stage L89. 90 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM L89. 90 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A below-knee amputation (“BKA”) is a transtibial amputation that involves removing the foot, ankle joint, and distal tibia and fibula with related soft tissue structures.
A high below knee amputation (BKA) in the setting of trauma can result in a non-functioning stump that is too short for a below knee prosthesis. Conversion to an above knee amputation and the use of composite flap have been described in the literature.
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.
Definition. Lower-limb amputation is the removal of a part, or multiple parts, of the lower limb. Though there is some discrepancy in literature regarding exact distal boundaries, it is generally accepted that “major” amputations include those which are at or proximal to the ankle.
Amputation through the tibia and fibula (also termed below-knee amputation or BKA) is described by CPT code 27880, when a standard dressing is applied or by 27881 when accompanied by an immediate cast fitting.
Major amputations are commonly below-knee- or above-knee amputations. Common partial foot amputations include the Chopart, Lisfranc, and ray amputations. Common forms of ankle disarticulations include Pyrogoff, Boyd, and Syme amputations.

BKA: Acronym standing for "below knee amputation." BKA is as opposed to AKA (above knee amputation).
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.
Stage 1 and 2 ulcers usually do not require surgery, but stage 3 and 4 ulcers may.Stage 1. The skin isn't broken, but it's discolored. ... Stage 2. A break in the skin reveals a shallow sore or cut that may leak pus. ... Stage 3. The ulcer is much deeper within the skin, affecting your fat layer. ... Stage 4. ... Unstageable.
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.
1. Patient has an ulcer on his BKA stump, which is documented to be due to the prosthesis. Should this be coded to L89.- Pressure injury, T87.- Complications peculiar to reattachment and amputation, or L97 Ulcer of lower limb, not elsewhere classified?
In both cases the pressure injury code L89.- is sufficient. The assignment of additional codes will capture information on the relevant comorbidities associated with the development of the pressure injury.
