V37: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
V37.9: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in traffic accident
The condition referred to by this specific ICD-10 code (V37.9) describes a scenario where an individual, whose exact role is unspecified, is inside or operating a three-wheeled motor vehicle and experiences a collision with a fixed or stationary object during a traffic incident. This code is typically invoked when the specific identity or role of the occupant (for instance, driver or passenger) is not clearly defined or identified at the time of reporting the incident. The occupant may have sustained injuries varying from minor cuts and bruises to severe trauma involving various body systems, the severity of which depends largely on the intensity of the collision. These injuries may manifest through symptoms such as pain, swelling, decreased mobility, or loss of consciousness, among others. The exact progression thereafter will depend on the specific injuries sustained and their subsequent management. Note that this code does not capture the nature or extent of the injuries, which is expressed through additional codes.
