The ICD-10 code V97.0 pertains to the condition wherein an occupant of an aircraft gets injured in other specified air transport accidents. This can include both major or minor accidents not included in other codes, such as turbulence, abrupt landing, or in-flight emergencies. This category specifically deals with incidents involving an aircraft, which is any vehicle capable of atmospheric flight. The injuries sustained can be varied, depending on numerous factors such as the nature of the accident, the occupant’s location in the aircraft at the time, among others. These injuries may affect any part of the body and can represent a wide variety of medical issues, from minor cuts and bruises to more severe or life-threatening conditions like fractures, internal injuries, or head traumas.
