V87: Traffic accident of specified type but victim's mode of transport unknown
V87.0: Person injured in collision between car and two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (traffic)
The diagnosis corresponding to ICD-10 code V87.0 is an injury sustained due to a collision between a car and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a traffic setting. This type of incident normally results in diverse levels and types of injuries, depending on various factors such as the speed at which the vehicles were moving, the protective gear worn, and the individual's position at the time of the accident. Injuries can range from minor ones like scrapes, cuts, or bruises, to more severe injuries such as fractures, internal bleeding, or head trauma. Each injury has unique characteristics. For instance, fractures may cause intense pain and difficulty moving the affected area, while head trauma could lead to loss of consciousness or cognitive difficulties. Often, these injuries necessitate immediate medical attention and could require extensive diagnostic measures, medical interventions, and lengthy rehabilitation depending on their severity.
