RE: surgical flap done on StageIII ulcer

I go by the description on the MDS, I have another question tho about something similar. What about a Full Thickness Burn, debrided, skin grafted, that you can look at tendons? How do you classify that??

I put it as a Stage 4, then documented 0 has highest stage for Pressure. Was I wrong?

Does anyone know how to code this, do you code the stage it was prior to the graft?
