(V11.4) Pedal cyclist injured in collision with other pedal cycle : driver injured in traffic accident

Pedal cyclist injuries in collisions with other pedal cycles and drivers in traffic accidents occur when the cyclist does not have enough time to react to the situation and is unable to avoid the collision. this can be due to a number of factors such as speed, visibility, and road conditions. injuries can range from minor scrapes and bruises to more serious fractures and head trauma.

The pathogenesis of this injury is likely due to the combination of the forces generated by the collision of two pedal cycles and the impact of the traffic accident. in the case of the cyclist, the force of the collision can cause direct trauma to the body, resulting in fractures, contusions, and other injuries. for the driver, the force of the impact and the speed of the traffic accident can cause a variety of traumatic injuries, including fractures, contusions, and internal organ damage. in both cases, the severity of the injury depends on the speed and force of impact.

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce pain and inflammation, and to promote healing.

• Prescribe medication to reduce pain and inflammation
• Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve range of motion
• Ice therapy to reduce swelling
• Heat therapy to reduce muscle spasms
• Massage therapy to improve circulation
• Ultrasound therapy to reduce inflammation
• Electrical stimulation to reduce pain
• Stretching exercises to improve flexibility

The best way to prevent pedal cyclist injuries in collisions with other pedal cycles or traffic accidents is to ensure that both cyclists and drivers are aware of their surroundings and take the necessary safety precautions. this includes wearing reflective clothing and a helmet, obeying traffic laws, and being aware of potential hazards. additionally, cyclists should ensure that their bike is properly maintained and that they are familiar with the local terrain.
