T05: Traumatic amputations involving multiple body regions
T05.3: Traumatic amputation of both feet
Traumatic amputation of both feet is a severe injury that occurs when both feet are removed from the body as a result of trauma. This medical condition is typically the result of high impact accidents such as traffic collisions, industrial accidents, or serious falls. Individuals with this condition may experience sudden, intense pain at the site of the amputation, shock due to loss of blood, and possible damage to other surrounding tissues or bones. Nerve damage can also occur, which may contribute to ongoing pain even after the injury has healed. Following the initial injury, infection is a significant risk due to possible exposure of the wounds to bacteria. Amputation also affects mobility substantially and can have psychological impacts such as changes in body image and emotional distress. Rehabilitation therefore includes both physical therapy and mental health support to address these challenges.
