V17.5: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : passenger injured in traffic accident

V17.5 in the ICD-10 classification describes a specific type of accident, which can lead to various medical conditions. It refers to an incident where a pedal cyclist collides with a fixed or stationary object, and a passenger gets injured in the resulting traffic accident. This can cause a range of potential injuries. These injuries can include but are not limited to: physical trauma, such as fractures, dislocations, and lacerations; head injuries that can result in concussions or more serious brain traumas; and internal injuries that may affect organs like the lungs, liver, or spleen. It's also possible to suffer from soft tissue injuries i.e., sprains, strains, and contusions. The severity and type of the injuries can vary greatly, depending on factors like the speed at which the collision occurred, the nature of the stationary object, and the use or non-use of safety equipment.
