The medical condition indicated by ICD-10 V45.2 refers to physical injuries experienced by a car occupant due to a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle. This scenario specifically involves a person who was on the outside of the vehicle at the time of the nontraffic accident. The range and degree of these injuries can vary widely, depending on the severity of the crash and the impact it had on the individual. Injuries can range from minor cuts, bruises, or fractures to more serious outcomes like internal bleeding or organ damage. Symptoms will depend on the nature of the injury but generally can include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected body part. As this is a physical injury, it directly impacts the musculoskeletal system, but depending on the severity, it could also influence other body systems.
