*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.

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==

* [[Fournier's gangrene]]

* [[Gas gangrene (usually due to Clostridium perfringens)]]

* [[Abdominal hernia, with obstruction, incarceration or strangulation]]

*[[Necrotizing fasciitis ]]

*[[Frostbite ]]

*[[Atherosclerosis of arteries of arms or legs ]]

*[[Limb ischemia (upper or lower) ]]

*[[Diabetes mellitus chronic complication: Cardiovascular ]]

*[[Abdominal hernia, with gangrene ]]

*[[ Mesenteric ischemia, NOS ]]

*[[Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) ]] = can cause venous limb gangrene
