S85: Injury of blood vessels at lower leg level

"Injury of blood vessels at the lower leg level" describes a group of conditions that involve damage to the blood vessels located in the lower leg. These injuries can result from direct trauma, such as a cut, or even indirect forces like a fracture or severe sprain. When these vessels are damaged, it disrupts the normal blood flow which can lead to a host of problems, such as swelling, pain, bruising, and sometimes serious complications like blood clots. The symptoms largely depend on the severity and location of the vessel injury. In severe cases, these injuries might also result in numbness or limited mobility. Like most injuries, the body's natural response is to heal the injured vessels, which can sometimes result in scar formation. This process takes time however, and the affected area often remains sensitive as it recovers.
