Activity, roller skating (inline) and skateboarding

This code identifies an injury or adverse effect that occurred while an individual was engaged in roller skating, including inline skating, or skateboarding. It specifies the activity as the external cause of the patient's condition.

Use this code as a secondary diagnosis to indicate the external cause of an injury, such as fractures, sprains, or head trauma, sustained during roller skating or skateboarding. It should be assigned in conjunction with an injury code from Chapter 19 of the ICD-10-CM.

• Always assign this code with a primary diagnosis code describing the nature of the injury.
• Do not use this code if the activity was not the direct cause of the injury (e.g., a pre-existing condition worsened while skating).
• Consider additional external cause codes if other factors contributed to the injury (e.g., Y92.310 for sidewalk as place of occurrence).
