V93.7: Accident on board watercraft without accident to watercraft, not causing drowning and submersion : water-skis
The ICD-10 v93.7 code refers to a specific type of accident that occurs onboard a watercraft, where the watercraft itself is not damaged and the individuals involved do not suffer from drowning or submersion. Often associated with water-skiing, these incidents can result in various physical injuries. The severity and type of injury can vary widely, ranging from mild sprains and bruises to severe fractures, concussions, or internal injuries. Symptoms depend on the nature of the injury; they might include pain, swelling, difficulty moving a limb, bleeding, confusion, or loss of consciousness. It's important to note that even if initial symptoms seem mild, medical attention is necessary as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. This accident could benefit from safety precautions like wearing protective gear and adhering to safe water-skiing practices.
