Ped on rolr-skt injured in clsn w hv veh in traf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by a person on roller-skates who was struck by a large commercial vehicle (e.g., truck, bus) in a traffic-related incident. It signifies that the initial injury event occurred in the past, and the patient is now being treated for residual conditions directly attributable to that collision.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or treatment for chronic conditions that are a direct consequence of a pedestrian on roller-skates being hit by a heavy transport vehicle or bus in a traffic accident. This includes conditions like chronic pain, limited mobility, neurological deficits, or psychological sequelae stemming from the original trauma.

• Always use 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 traffic accident involving a roller-skater and a heavy transport vehicle.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela, indicating a late effect of the injury.
