I'm new to wound care coding and am still trying to figure out some of the particulars. My main struggle is with diabetic patients.

If a diabetic patient has a trauma wound or pressure ulcer on the foot, is it still coded as a diabetic foot ulcer with E10/E11 and L97?
OR
Is the wound coded as a trauma wound/pressure ulcer in conjunction with a code for diabetes without complications?
