   A burn-related hospital case involving multiple anatomic sites and skin substitute graft application. The section illustrates how the example is presented and includes related procedural context.

2. Example 2

   A facial, ear, and foot burn case with skin substitute graft application over a larger total surface area. The section continues the article’s clinical example format and references the associated coding context.

3. Example 3

   A burn case involving the arm and subsequent surgical preparation with graft application. The section shows the final clinical example in the article’s wound care claim format.
