V77: Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
V77.9: Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : unspecified bus occupant injured in traffic accident
The condition identified by ICD-10 code V77.9 refers to injuries sustained by an unspecified occupant of a bus involved in a crash with a fixed or stationary object during a traffic accident. The injuries generally result from a sudden and violent impact, which can cause a multitude of physical damages. Depending on the accident's forces, these can range from soft tissue injuries (such as bruises, sprains, tears, or ruptures of muscles, ligaments, or tendons) to more severe problems including fractures or dislocations of bones. Symptoms associated with such conditions often include pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the affected area. The condition also has the potential to affect multiple organs or systems in the body, depending on the nature and severity of the impact. Short-term consequences may be seen immediately or soon after the injury, while long-term complications may develop over time or as a result of the initial treatment.
