V22: Motorcycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle

Motorcycle rider injured in a collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle describes a group of conditions that occur when a motorcycle rider is impacted by another rider or motorist using a similar two- or three-wheeled vehicle. This category includes a range of injuries, and the exact problems can depend on the specifics of the collision, such as velocity, angle of collision, and protective equipment worn. Typically, these injuries can involve multiple body systems: musculoskeletal, neurological, and integumentary (skin) being the most commonly affected. Damage might be inflicted on bones (like fractures), soft tissues (like sprains, strains or bruises), or more serious disruptions like spinal cord or brain injuries due to the violent force exerted during the incident. The progression of these conditions depends on the severity of the initial injury, but might include pain, limited mobility or loss of function, unconsciousness, or different symptoms depending on the specific injury incurred.
