V91.7: Accident to watercraft causing other injury : water-skis
The V91.7 code in the ICD-10 refers to an accident involving watercraft that causes injury other than drowning or submersion, specifically related to water-skiing. These accidents can result from a variety of incidents such as collisions with other watercraft, falls, or even equipment failures. Injuries can range from minor abrasions or lacerations to more serious conditions including fractures, concussions, or hypothermia. Different parts of the body can be affected, from the head and limbs to internal organs. The severity of the symptoms largely depends on the type and extent of the injury. It's important to note that while these accidents can happen to any individual participating in water-skiing activities, risks may be higher for those without proper training or safety equipment.
