* This code should NOT be used interchangeably with necrosis. Use this code if documentation supports that gangrene is in fact present.

*As per TASK May 22, 2024- a necrotic open wound may be due to severe infection of the wound, rather than truly being gangrene, which is due to lack of perfusion to a body part.

*For traumatic open wounds (e.g. Thorax, open wound, injury/trauma this INCLUDES necrotic wounds. But for nontraumatic open wounds there is no general code or group of codes equivalent to those trauma codes.

*There are, however, some appropriate specific codes that include necrotic nontraumatic wounds -- these include Diabetes mellitus chronic complication: Foot ulcer, and the multiple codes for decubitus ulcers. For OTHER types of necrotic, nontraumatic wounds use Skin ulcer, NOS.
