W07: Fall involving chair
The condition described under the ICD-10 code W07 pertains to injuries caused by a fall involving a chair. This can occur in a variety of settings including home, work, or public areas. The event often involves slipping, tripping, or misjudging when sitting or standing from a chair, leading to a sudden, unintentional drop to the floor. Symptoms depend on the severity and point of impact, but can range from minor bruises to severe damage involving the head, limbs, or torso. The musculoskeletal, nervous, and integumentary (skin) systems are commonly affected. Progression of the damage depends on the severity of the injury and the individual's overall health status. The immediate aftermath usually includes pain, swelling, or visible wounds, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness or reduced mobility.
