S80-S89: Injuries to the knee and lower leg
S84: Injury of nerves at lower leg level
Injury of nerves at the lower leg level is a group of conditions that involve damage to the nerves in the lower part of the leg. This damage can occur due to a variety of causes, including accidents, falls, sports injuries, or medical procedures. Symptoms often depend on the severity of the injury and which nerve is affected but can include numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the lower leg, ankle, or foot. Over time, these injuries can lead to difficulties in walking or performing daily activities if left untreated. The nervous system is primarily affected by these conditions, particularly the peripheral nerves that extend from the spinal cord to the rest of the body. It's important to note, however, that the impact of these injuries can vary widely from person to person based on factors such as the exact site and extent of the injury, overall health, and age.
