Prsn inj wh brd/alit fr a dirt bike or motor/cross bike,sqla

This code indicates a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual while in the process of getting on or off a dirt bike or motor/cross bike. The initial injury event has already occurred, and this code is used to report the residual effects or sequelae.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to a past injury that occurred during the act of boarding or alighting from a dirt bike. Examples include chronic pain, nerve damage, or limited mobility stemming from such an incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past dirt bike boarding/alighting injury.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela and should be used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of a previous injury.
