Activity, water skiing and wake boarding

This code identifies injuries or other adverse health events that occur specifically during the activity of water skiing or wakeboarding. It indicates that the patient's condition is directly related to participation in these water sports.

Use this code as an external cause code when documenting injuries such as sprains, fractures, concussions, or near-drownings sustained while water skiing or wakeboarding. It provides crucial information about the circumstances surrounding the patient's presentation.

• Always use this code as a secondary code, following the primary code for the injury or condition.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies water skiing or wakeboarding as the activity leading to the injury.
• Consider additional external cause codes for place of occurrence (e.g., Y92.830 for lake) or activity status if relevant.
