Clinical Causes: Collision between a three-wheeled motor vehicle and another two- or three-wheeled vehicle during the process of boarding or alighting. Motor vehicle accidents involving unintended impacts or loss of control resulting in collisions at the moment of entering or exiting the vehicle. Road accidents due to driver error, poor road conditions, or failure to adhere to traffic rules.

Key Symptoms: Pain and tenderness at potential impact points such as limbs, hips, or torso. Bruising or swelling in areas impacted during the collision. Possible cuts, lacerations, or abrasions from contact with vehicle surfaces or road debris. Signs of fractures, such as deformity, swelling, or inability to move affected limbs. In some cases, head injuries, dizziness, or loss of consciousness, especially if the collision was severe.

Diagnosis Path: Physical examination focusing on visible injuries, pain points, and mobility. Imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to identify fractures, internal injuries, or soft tissue damage. Detailed review of the accident circumstances, including vehicle positions and impact points. Assessment of vital signs to determine the severity of trauma and stability of the patient.

Treatment Protocols: Emergency care to stabilize the patient, including immobilization, pain management, and wound care. Surgical interventions if necessary, such as fracture fixation or repair of damaged tissues. Monitoring and management of potential internal injuries or bleeding. Rehabilitation services like physiotherapy to restore movement and strength. Psychological support or counseling if emotional trauma from the accident is significant.
