V20-V29: Motorcycle rider injured in transport accident
V21: Motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedal cycle
The group of conditions associated with ICD-10 code "V21" broadly relate to injuries sustained by a motorcycle rider during a collision with a pedal cycle. Such incidents can result in a wide range of trauma, depending on the severity of the collision and protective measures employed by the rider. Impact could affect various body systems and may result in bone fractures, internal organ damage, skin abrasions, or head injuries. A common symptom immediately following such an incident is pain, often severe and localized to the area of injury. Other symptoms like bruising, swelling, bleeding, dizziness or loss of consciousness may also be experienced. In some cases, symptoms may not become evident immediately, particularly with internal injuries. It's crucial that medical attention is sought following any such collision, as a thorough examination can identify less obvious injuries and prevent complications.
