Was this due to injury or a complication from a non injury surgery.

The patient suffered a traumatic injury that required surgery. Patient had surgery and the surgical wound never healed.

If the surgical wound is not healing, look in the ind X under post operative, then complication, then skin.

Thank you for the advice. I wasn't 100% sure whether that was the code I should use or if I was just missing something.
