A plantar foot ulcer was defined as a full-thickness lesion of the skin, i.e., a wound penetrating through the dermis at the plantar side of the foot, without reference to time present (21,22).
Ischemic tissue necrosis beneath the callus leads to breakdown of skin and subcutaneous tissue, resulting in a neuropathic ulcer with a punched-out appearance. Pressure ulcers are caused by prolonged pressure, friction, or shear of the skin surface leading to impaired blood supply and tissue malnutrition.
As mentioned above, neuropathic ulcers are caused by repeated stress on feet that have diminished sensation. However, if the neuropathic ulcer is present in an area that suggests trauma and not at a pressure point, there must additionally be vascular impairment to lead to ulceration.
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.

For treatment of neuropathic ulcers, a window is cut over the area of the ulcer site to reduce weight-bearing pressure. Despite the long pre-existing duration of the ulcers studied (mean 912 days), ulcers that reached 100% healing did so by 130 days.

Neuropathic pain should be coded as neuralgia M79.2, not neuropathy.
