The ICD-10 code V06.11 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian on roller-skates who is involved in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle during a traffic accident. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which can include a variety of injuries ranging from minor abrasions to severe trauma. The context of this code is particularly relevant in urban settings where roller-skating is common, and it highlights the importance of pedestrian safety in traffic environments. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation for emergency services.
