I87. 2 - Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral). ICD-10-CM.
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.
Venous ulcers, also referred to as stasis, insufficiency or varicose ulcers, are the result of malfunctioning venous valves causing pressure in the veins to increase. These typically occur along the medial or lateral distal (lower) leg.
There are four (4) common types of skin ulcers: venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic neuropathic ulcers and pressure ulcers. Three (3) of these ulcer types are exclusively lower-extremity wounds located on the foot, ankle and lower leg: venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, and diabetic neuropathic ulcers.
arterial leg ulcers – caused by poor blood circulation in the arteries. diabetic leg ulcers – caused by the high blood sugar associated with diabetes. vasculitic leg ulcers – associated with chronic inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. traumatic leg ulcers – caused by injury to the leg.
