Y02: Assault by pushing or placing victim before moving object
The category referenced by the ICD-10 code Y02 includes injuries caused by an act of violence, specifically assault by pushing or placing the victim before a moving object. This condition group typically encompasses physical injuries that happen when a person intentionally pushes another individual into the path of an object in motion. The specific nature of the injury can vary greatly based upon the speed and size of the moving object, the angle of the push, the stature of the person, and any mitigating factors like distance and surrounding environment. Potential injuries can range from minor bruising or scrapes, to more severe consequences like broken bones, internal injuries, or head traumas. Symptoms may appear immediately after the assault or can develop gradually over time, and can include pain, swelling, visible deformities, or functional impairment. The progression of these conditions depends on the severity of the inflicted injury and the health status of the injured individual.
