Oth injury due to oth accident on board water-skis, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained during an accident involving water-skis. The original accident was not a collision, but rather another type of mishap occurring while on the water-skis.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage) directly attributable to an injury that occurred previously due to a non-collision accident on water-skis. This is used for follow-up care related to the lasting effects of such an injury.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past water-skiing accident that was not a collision.
• The "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning the initial injury has healed, but its residual effects are being treated.
