T02.3: Fractures involving multiple regions of one lower limb

Fractures involving multiple regions of one lower limb refer to injuries where more than one part of a single leg, such as the thigh, shin, or foot, has broken bones. This is a serious condition as it can be caused by high-impact trauma such as traffic accidents, serious falls, or possibly sports injuries, and it often results in severe pain. Symptoms of such fractures generally include a distinct snap or grinding noise at the time of injury, immediate, severe pain, difficulty or inability to move the leg, swelling, bruising, or bleeding, and obvious deformity or shortening of the affected leg. Since these fractures involve more than one part of the leg, it can present a more complex medical situation and may impact the overall mobility of the patient. If left untreated, this condition could lead to complications like infections, nerve damage, blood vessel injury, or non-healed fractures. It's important to get the immediate medical attention if suspected.
