ICD-10 Code for Unspecified open wound, right thigh- S71. 101- Codify by AAPC.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM L89. 891 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of L89.
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.
The types of open wounds classified in ICD-10-CM are laceration without foreign body, laceration with foreign body, puncture wound without foreign body, puncture wound with foreign body, open bite, and unspecified open wound. For instance, S81. 812A Laceration without foreign body, right lower leg, initial encounter.

Currently, hydrocolloid dressings are widely used in individuals with Category/Stage II pressure ulcers.
Stage II Pressure Ulcer: Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough. May also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister. Presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising.
Provide an accurate description of the pressure ulcer or of skin characteristics. Accurately measure the wound length, width, and depth, and note any drainage. Indicate changes in color, consistency, and odor.
Stage 1 pressure injuries are characterized by superficial reddening of the skin (or red, blue or purple hues in darkly pigmented skin) that when pressed does not turn white (non-blanchable erythema). If the cause of the injury is not relieved, these will progress and form proper ulcers.
A grade 1 pressure ulcer is defined as a non-blanchable erythema of intact skin. Discolouration of the skin, warmth, oedema, induration or hardness may also be used as indicators, particularly in people with darker pigmentation (EPUAP, 2003) (Figure 1).
Definition/IntroductionClass 1 wounds are considered to be clean. They are uninfected, no inflammation is present, and are primarily closed. ... Class 2 wounds are considered to be clean-contaminated. ... Class 3 wounds are considered to be contaminated. ... Class 4 wounds are considered to be dirty-infected.
Stage 2 pressure ulcers by definition have partial thickness loss of the dermis. Granulation tissue, slough, and eschar are not present in Stage 2 pressure ulcers.
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).
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.
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.
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.
L89.892 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pressure ulcer of other site, stage 2. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Pressure ulcers, also known as pressure sores, bedsores and decubitus ulcers, are localized injuries to the skin and/or underlying tissue that usually occur over a bony prominence as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction.
