S70-S79: Injuries to the hip and thigh

S75: Injury of blood vessels at hip and thigh level

Injury of blood vessels at hip and thigh level describes a range of conditions where the blood vessels in the hip and thigh regions suffer damage due to various causes, such as falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or surgical procedures. These injuries can lead to severe bleeding internally or externally. Some people might not have any symptoms initially, but as blood loss continues, they may experience symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, weakness, or a rapid heartbeat. Others may notice a large bruise or hematoma at the injury site. In other cases, if the blood flow to the leg is compromised, they may experience severe pain, a pale and cold leg, and loss in leg function. Without appropriate medical intervention, these conditions can severely impact a person's health and daily activities.
