V27.3: Motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : person injured while boarding or alighting
The ICD-10 code V27.3 pertains to a specific type of injury sustained by motorcycle riders. The code specifically references injuries that occur when a motorcyclist has a collision with a fixed or stationary object during the process of boarding or alighting. This means that the rider was in the act of getting onto or off of the motorcycle when the accident occurred. This type of injury can include a variety of potential cuts, bruises, fractures, internal injuries, concussions, or other harm based around the specifics of the accident. The nature and severity of the injuries can vastly vary, depending on factors such as speed at the time of accident, protective gear worn, nature of the stationary object, and immediate response post-accident. This form of injury can impact various systems in the body, again, depending upon the exact nature of the incident.
