V10: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with pedestrian or animal
V10.1: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The medical condition outlined under ICD-10 code V10.1 is specific to a passenger of a pedal cycle, such as a bicycle, who has been injured in a nontraffic accident that involved a collision with a pedestrian or animal. This means the accident occurred somewhere other than on a public highway or street, for example in a park, on a private path or in a parking lot. Injuries can vary from minor scrapes and bruises to more severe damage like fractures or head injuries depending on various factors such as the speed of the cyclist, the impact of the collision, whether protective gear was worn, and others. Recognition of this code is particularly used in medical reporting and statistics, and doesn't indicate the severity or the specific type of injury.
