Hit by falling object due to accident to water-skis, sequela

This code describes injuries or conditions that are a late effect of being hit or struck by a falling object, where the original incident occurred due to an accident involving water-skis. This indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing a residual problem directly attributable to that past event.

Use this code when documenting a current health problem that is a direct consequence of a previous injury sustained from being struck by a falling object during a water-skiing accident. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or other lasting complications stemming from the original incident.

• Always use in conjunction with a code identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, deformity).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past water-skiing accident and falling object.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use for the initial injury or subsequent acute care.
