Unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident
ICD-10 V27.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of electric (assisted) bicycles when they collide with fixed or stationary objects during traffic accidents. Such incidents can occur in various environments, including urban settings where cyclists may encounter obstacles like parked cars, street furniture, or road barriers. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the risks associated with electric bicycle use, and facilitating appropriate public health interventions. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of object involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, type of bicycle, and any relevant traffic conditions.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions with stationary objects, such as poles or parked vehicles.
Consideration of the patient's helmet use and other safety measures taken at the time of the accident.
Detailed trauma assessments, including injury patterns and surgical interventions, should be documented.
Trauma cases involving fractures or head injuries from collisions.
Documentation should include the mechanism of injury and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
