T05: Traumatic amputations involving multiple body regions
T05.8: Traumatic amputations involving other combinations of body regions
Traumatic amputations involving other combinations of body regions refer to severe injuries where more than one part of the body has been partially or completely separated due to trauma. This can result from various types of accidents including motor vehicle collisions, industrial accidents, or military combat. These amputations are characterized by sudden and often extreme pain, significant blood loss, and shock. If multiple body regions are involved, affected portions can include the arms, legs, fingers, toes, or other body parts depending on the nature of the trauma. There may also be associated injuries that accompany these cases. Being a traumatic event, the situation can lead to immediate life-threatening conditions, such as severe bleeding and shock, and therefore requires urgent medical intervention.
