Skateboarder colliding with stationary object, subs encntr

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual riding a skateboard who subsequently collides with an unmoving object. The "D" indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.

Use this code for follow-up visits related to injuries (e.g., fractures, sprains, contusions) sustained by a skateboarder who hit a stationary object. This applies to encounters for cast changes, wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments during the recovery period.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code describing the specific injury sustained.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent care, not initial treatment or sequelae.
• Specify the type of stationary object if known and relevant using an additional external cause code.
