V51.4: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedal cycle : person injured while boarding or alighting
The ICD-10 code V51.4 pertains to injuries sustained by an occupant of a pick-up truck or van in a collision with a pedal cycle, specifically when the person is getting on or off the vehicle (boarding or alighting). This kind of injury normally arises as a result of traffic accidents involving these two types of vehicles. Injuries can range from minor abrasions, bruises, and sprains to more severe ones like fractures, internal injuries, and head trauma depending on the severity of the collision. Symptoms may differ depending on the nature of the injury and could manifest immediately or develop gradually over time post-accident. As such, it greatly helps to have a precise understanding of the circumstances of the accident and careful observation of the patient's condition.
