W02: Fall involving ice-skates, skis, roller-skates or skateboards
The ICD-10 code W02 corresponds to a group of conditions related to falls involving ice-skates, skis, roller-skates, or skateboards. These incidents typically occur during physical activity using these specific items and often result in injuries due to unexpected loss of balance or control. Depending on the severity and the fall's circumstances, various body systems can be affected. Injuries can range from minor scratches and bruises to more severe conditions such as bone fractures, strains, sprains, or even traumatic brain injuries. Often, symptoms may include pain, swelling, reduced mobility of the affected area, or visual signs of injury like abrasions or lacerations. With serious falls, signs of concussion such as disorientation, headache, dizziness, or loss of consciousness might also occur. Disease progression depends greatly on the site and severity of the injury.
