Fall into swim pool strk bottom causing oth injury, sequela

This code describes a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained when an individual fell into a swimming pool, specifically striking the bottom, and the impact resulted in an injury other than drowning or near-drowning. It signifies that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are still present and require ongoing management or documentation.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, scar tissue) directly attributable to an old injury from falling into a swimming pool and hitting the bottom. This applies after the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the patient is being treated for the residual effects.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past swimming pool fall injury.
• Do not use for acute injuries; this code is exclusively for the late effects or complications.
