V51: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedal cycle
V51.2: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedal cycle : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
The ICD-10 code V51.2 refers to a specific accident scenario. It is applicable when an occupant of a pick-up truck or van collides with a pedal cycle, and a person outside the vehicle gets injured in an nontraffic setting. This denotes an injury event rather than a medical condition or disease, the nature of which would be determined by the specific anatomical injuries sustained. These injuries may encompass a wide range of conditions, from minor skin abrasions or fractures to more severe conditions such as head or spinal cord injuries. The severity and type of injuries largely depend on the specifics of the collision, such as the speed and force involved, as well as individual factors like the victim's age, health status and the immediate response to the accident.
