Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V02.92 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian riding a skateboard who is involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This code is particularly relevant in emergency medicine and trauma settings, where accurate documentation of external causes of injuries is critical for treatment and reporting. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic context, which can complicate the coding process. Clinicians must ensure that the circumstances surrounding the injury are well-documented to support the use of this code. Common scenarios include accidents occurring in urban environments, skate parks, or residential areas where skateboarders may be present. Accurate coding is essential for public health data collection and for understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to skateboarding and motor vehicle interactions.
Detailed account of the accident, including location, type of vehicle involved, and patient’s condition upon arrival.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after a skateboard accident involving a motor vehicle.
Ensure that all relevant details are captured to support the use of V02.92, especially in cases where multiple injuries are present.
Comprehensive trauma assessment, including mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions performed.
Severe injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as orthopedic repairs or soft tissue reconstruction.
Accurate coding is crucial for trauma registries and for understanding injury patterns in the population.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from skateboard accidents.
Document the nature of the injury, treatment provided, and any follow-up care needed.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details are captured for accurate coding.
Document the specifics of the accident, including the type of vehicle involved, the location of the incident, and the patient's condition upon arrival. Ensure that any additional injuries are also recorded.
