Wiki Wound repair

Hello,

I don't code much for wound repairs so need a little assistance. The wound measures 30x20 cm on the anterior portion of the lower leg, its a traumatic wound. I was leaning towards coding the 13120 but not sure exactly how to calculate the total cm of the wound? Would you just multiply 30x20? Just seems really large number...

There is a great article in the knowledge center titled "Wound Repair Coding in 3 Easy Steps" This should be a big help!
