W27: Contact with nonpowered hand tool

The category of conditions represented by 'Contact with nonpowered hand tool' encompasses various injuries that occur due to unintended interaction or mishandling of manual, non-electric tools like hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, and so on. These injuries can range from minor scratches to significant trauma, including puncture wounds, sprains, fractures, lacerations, or broken bones. Commonly, such incidents can result in noticeable pain, swelling, bruising, or even deformity in the affected part of the body, primarily impacting the skin and musculoskeletal system. The progression of the condition depends on the severity of the injury, where minor ones may heal with appropriate self-care, while serious injuries may require professional medical intervention. These conditions are not communicable or contagious as they are outcomes of accidental events rather than diseases caused by pathogens.
