This code classifies a fall on the same level, excluding falls from a height or those involving other specified circumstances (e.g., assault, self-harm, falls from machinery or transport vehicles).

Example 1: A 70-year-old patient with a history of osteoporosis trips on a rug at home, falls on the same level and sustains a wrist fracture., A 30-year-old patient slips on a wet floor in a grocery store, resulting in a minor ankle sprain. , A 5-year-old child stumbles while playing and falls on the same level, resulting in a minor abrasion to the knee.
