Ped on sktbrd injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a pedestrian, who was on a skateboard, being involved in a traffic accident with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The injury is not acute but rather a residual effect of the initial collision. This could include chronic pain, nerve damage, or impaired mobility directly attributable to the original incident.

This code is appropriate for documenting conditions that are a direct result of such an accident, manifesting after the acute phase of injury has passed. It should be used when a patient presents for treatment of a sequela, such as a permanent disability or chronic condition, stemming from this specific type of traffic collision. Do not use for the initial injury or subsequent acute care.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past skateboard-motor vehicle collision.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should be used for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of the initial injury.
