T02: Fractures involving multiple body regions
T02.1: Fractures involving thorax with lower back and pelvis
Fractures involving the thorax with lower back and pelvis are severe injuries affecting multiple regions of the body. In such cases, the patient has suffered a break in one or more parts of the upper body (thorax), as well as in the lower spine (lower back) and pelvic area. The cause of these injuries is often significant trauma, such as that from a car accident, a heavy fall, or a sports injury. Symptoms may vary widely depending on the specific bones that are broken, but common indicators include intense pain, difficulty moving, bruising, and swelling in the impacted areas. In more serious cases, additional symptoms like difficulty breathing or changes in body posture may be present. Recovery from these injuries generally requires immediate medical intervention and a prolonged period of rest and rehabilitation.
