Pressure ulcer L89- >. 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. The bony areas of the body are the most frequently affected sites which become ischemic (ischemia) under sustained and constant pressure. Death of tissue due to external pressure.
Stage 4 pressure ulcers are the deepest, extending into the muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or even bone.

ICD-10-CM Code for Pressure ulcer of sacral region, unspecified stage L89. 159.
L89. 154 - Pressure ulcer of sacral region, stage 4 | ICD-10-CM.
Sacral ulcers are skin injuries that occur in the sacral region of the body, near the lower back and spine. These ulcers fall under the umbrella of pressure sores, which are more commonly referred to as bedsores.
The sacral spine (sacrum) is located below the lumbar spine and above the tailbone, which is known as the coccyx. Five bones that are fused together make up the triangle-shaped sacrum, and these bones are numbered S-1 to S-5.
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.

DTPI is currently indexed to Unstageable even though by definition, an Unstageable can ONLY be a Stage 3 or 4 Pressure Injuries. HOWEVER, by definition a DTPI may resolve without tissue loss.
The sacrum, sometimes called the sacral vertebra or sacral spine (S1), is a large, flat triangular shaped bone nested between the hip bones and positioned below the last lumbar vertebra (L5). The coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, is below the sacrum.
Overview. The sacrum is a shield-shaped bony structure that is located at the base of the lumbar vertebrae and that is connected to the pelvis. The sacrum forms the posterior pelvic wall and strengthens and stabilizes the pelvis.
Radiculopathy, sacral and sacrococcygeal region M54. 18 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Unstageable - Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed.

ICD-10 Code for Unspecified open wound of unspecified buttock- S31. 809- Codify by AAPC.
Ulceration caused by prolonged pressure in patients permitted to lie too still for a long period of time; bony prominences of the body are the most frequently affected sites; ulcer is caused by ischemia of the underlying structures of the skin, fat, and muscles as a result of the sustained and constant pressure. Codes.
Pressure sores are areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for too long. They commonly form where your bones are close to your skin, such as your ankles, back, elbows, heels and hips. You are at risk if you are bedridden, use a wheelchair, or are unable to change your position.
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.
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).
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.
