V16.3: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : person injured while boarding or alighting
The condition referred to by this specific ICD-10 code, V16.3, is an injury resulting from a collision between a pedal cyclist and a nonmotor vehicle. This can occur during the process of either boarding or alighting a bicycle. The injury can vary in severity depending on the details of the accident, and could range from minor bruises or scrapes to more serious harm such as fractures or concussions. Affected areas could be any part of the body, as the injuries may result from falling off the bike, being struck by the other entity involved in the collision, or hitting the ground or a stationary object. This type of injury can present with immediate symptoms such as pain, swelling, bruising, or physical deformity, or may manifest later as persistent discomfort or decreased range of motion. The progression and recovery of the injury will depend on the severity and location of the damage.
