I have a patient that the nurse states has a ischial tuberosity pressure ulcer and I will admit I do not know how to code this. Anyone with suggestions? Thanks!!:confused:
 
Ischial Tuberosity Ulcer

Hope this helps: Buttocks is what I would use. L89.309

ischial tuberosity
Type: Term

Definitions:
1. the rough bony projection at the junction of the lower end of the body of the ischium and its ramus; this is a weight-bearing point in the sitting position; provides attachment for the sacrotuberous ligament and is the site of origin of the hamstring muscles.


Synonyms: tuber ischiadicum, tuber of ischium
 
Ischial Tuberosity Pressure Ulcer

Thanks! New ICD-10 needs more pressure ulcer codes and less RA codes! LOL
