W20-W49: Exposure to inanimate mechanical forces

Exposure to inanimate mechanical forces is a group of conditions that results from external physical events or objects impacting the body. These conditions commonly result from accidents or environmental factors such as falls, crush injuries, or being hit by flying or falling objects. Patients exposed to these forces often experience bruises, cuts, fractures, internal injuries, or even more severe conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, depending on the force and point of impact. The progression of these conditions can vary widely, depending on the exact nature and severity of the injury. It's important to note that any part of the body can be impacted, thus various body systems can be affected. For example, injuries to limbs might affect the musculoskeletal system, whereas brain injuries might damage the nervous system.
