Patient has a plantar foot Wagner Grade 3 Diabetic ulcer. I know I code E11.621 first and then list the non-pressure ulcer L97.____ but what is a wagner grade 3 diabetic ulcer equivalent to: 1) bone necrosis 2) exposed fat layer 3) muscle necrosis or 4) skin breakdown only?
These confuse me because I thought Wagner Grade 3 were used for pressure ulcers.
Thanks for your help.
