Explosion of bicycle tire, sequela

This code signifies a health condition or complication arising as a direct result of an injury sustained from an exploding bicycle tire. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its long-term effects or consequences are still present and require ongoing medical attention.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or other lasting health issue that is directly attributable to a past incident involving an exploding bicycle tire. This would include scenarios like persistent nerve damage, chronic pain, or scarring from a previous injury caused by such an event.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nerve damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bicycle tire explosion.
• This code is for the sequela (late effect), not the initial acute injury.
