V11.9: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with other pedal cycle : unspecified pedal cyclist injured in traffic accident

The ICD-10 code V11.9 refers to a situation in which a pedal cyclist experiences an injury in a traffic accident related to a collision with another pedal cycle. This condition is not disease or illness, but rather a categorization of an injury event. It refers to cycling incidents involving two cyclists colliding. The nature and severity of injuries can vary widely, including scratches, bruises, fractures, sprains, or more serious damage to the head, spinal cord and internal organs depending on factors such as the speed of the cyclists, the angles of collision, whether protective gear is worn, and the physical condition of the cyclists. Injury impacts can extend from musculoskeletal system to neurological system, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system among others. This classification does not delve into specifics of each individual injury, but broadly refers to any bicyclist injured in a collision with another bicycle in a traffic situation.
