Ped on sktbrd inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or condition arising from an injury sustained by a pedestrian on a skateboard. The original injury occurred during a collision with another non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, scooter) in a location not open to public traffic, such as a park or private property. The sequela indicates that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects.

Use this code when documenting a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to a past injury involving a skateboarder colliding with another non-motorized vehicle in a non-traffic setting. This would apply to follow-up visits for conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or scar tissue resulting from the initial incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic knee pain, post-traumatic arthritis).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past skateboard accident as described.
• Verify that the original injury occurred in a non-traffic area and involved another non-motorized vehicle.
