Hi, My provider performed a debridement of necrotic tissue on the muscle. He states in his documentation "The wound was noted to be approximately 50 cm in the caudal cranial direction and 25 cm in the anterior posterior direction; however, there was significant undermining both superiorly and inferiorly approximately 15 to 20 cm and laterally and posteriorly." What should be the measurement for the wound? Is it 50cm? I read some articles that state to multiple 50 x 25 but that seems too big and anterior posterior is the depth of the wound, so I'm not sure that's correct. But then I was looking at his second statement 15 to 20 cm. Is this really the size he performed the debridement on and do we multiple or is it just 20cm? Any feedback would help. Thank you
