T05.0: Traumatic amputation of both hands

Traumatic amputation of both hands is a severe injury which results from a sudden and forceful event, like an accident, that leads to the complete separation of both hands from the remainder of the arms. This condition typically presents with immediate and intense pain, significant bleeding, and shock due to the severity of the injury. It is not a disease in the conventional sense, but a traumatic event. Post-injury, the affected individual may go through various physiological, emotional, and psychological changes, including phantom limb sensation where the person continues to feel the presence of the amputated hands. It's noteworthy to mention that quick and effective medical intervention is critical for managing such injuries, as managing the bleeding and controlling the pain are immediate priorities. Reconstructive surgical procedures and rehabilitation services often form part of the long-term care plan.
