Tennis court as place

This code indicates that an injury or other adverse event occurred on a tennis court. It specifies the physical location where the external cause of an injury or health condition took place, rather than describing the injury itself. This helps to provide a more complete picture of the circumstances surrounding a patient's presentation.

Use this code when documenting an injury sustained during a tennis match, practice, or any other activity occurring on a tennis court. This includes falls, sprains, strains, or impacts that happen within the boundaries of a tennis court. It should be assigned as a secondary code to provide context for the primary injury diagnosis.

• Always assign this code in conjunction with an external cause code (e.g., W03.XXXA for fall from slipping, tripping, or stumbling) and an injury code.
• Ensure the medical record clearly specifies the event occurred on a tennis court.
• Do not use this code if the injury occurred in an area adjacent to, but not on, the actual tennis court surface.
