Activity, jumping rope

This code identifies an injury or adverse effect that occurred while the patient was engaged in the activity of jumping rope. It specifies the mechanism of injury as related to this particular form of exercise.

This code is appropriate for documenting the external cause of an injury, such as a sprain, strain, fracture, or contusion, that happened during a jump rope activity. It should be used as a secondary code following the primary diagnosis code for the actual injury.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis code for the injury.
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the patient was jumping rope at the time of injury.
• Do not use for injuries sustained during other forms of exercise; select the appropriate Y93 code.
