W00-W19: Falls

W03: Other fall on same level due to collision with, or pushing by, another person

The condition represented by the ICD-10 code W03 refers to instances where an individual experiences a fall on the same level as a result of a collision with, or getting pushed by, another person. This group of incidents generally revolve around accidental, unintentional encounters where the physical balance gets disturbed, leading to a subsequent fall. These occurrences are prevalently observed in crowded areas, during contact sports, or as a consequence of interpersonal violence. As the fall happens on the same level, the extent of injuries tend to vary widely, depending upon factors such as the individual's health, age, and the manner of the fall. These injuries often involve different physical systems like bones causing fractures, muscles resulting in sprains or strains, or head leading to concussions. The progression and symptoms of these injuries largely depend upon the nature and severity of the impact.
