V22.4: Motorcycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle : driver injured in traffic accident
The ICD-10 code V22.4 refers to a specific traumatic injury scenario, specifically when a motorcycle rider has been injured in a traffic collision involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The specific circumstances of the injury can vary greatly, but the unifying factor is that the person injured was the driver of the motorcycle. This type of incident can result in a broad range of injuries, depending on factors like the speed of impact, the rider’s safety equipment, and the specifics of the accident. Injuries can involve multiple body systems and can range from minor scrapes and bruises to severe conditions such as fractures, internal injuries, head or spinal cord injuries. The progression of these injuries can be immediate, or symptoms may develop over time. Immediate medical attention following such an accident is essential to properly diagnose and manage any resulting injuries.
