In simple words: This code describes the long-term effects from being accidentally twisted by another person.

Accidental twist by another person, sequela. This code represents the late effects of an accidental injury where a person was twisted by another person. It captures the long-term consequences or residual effects of the initial injury. Twist by another person NOS.

Example 1: A patient presents with chronic pain in their shoulder, which is a long-term effect of an accidental twist during a sports game a year prior where another player twisted their arm., A patient experiences limited range of motion in their knee, a sequela from an accidental twist injury sustained when someone bumped into them and twisted their leg several months ago., A patient reports persistent headaches following an incident where another person accidentally twisted their neck during a friendly wrestling match. The headaches are determined to be a sequela of the original injury.

Documentation should clearly establish the cause-and-effect relationship between the current condition and the initial accidental twist injury. Details of the original incident, including the date and circumstances surrounding the twist, should be documented. The medical record should also include any diagnostic tests or treatments related to the sequela.

** It's important to differentiate between accidental twists (W50.2XXS) and intentional twists such as those that occur during an assault (Y04.-). This code should not be used for intentional harm. Always consult iFrameAI for most accurate dataset. As of December 10, 2024.
