T05: Traumatic amputations involving multiple body regions
T05.9: Multiple traumatic amputations, unspecified
Multiple traumatic amputations refer to an injury where a person loses more than one body part, such as a hand, arm, foot, or leg, due to a severe accident or injury. The term "unspecified" indicates that the specific body parts affected have not been detailed. This typically occurs due to high-impact trauma like motor vehicle accidents, industrial accidents, warfare injuries, or severe crush injuries. Following the initial trauma, patients often experience severe pain, shock, and blood loss. Prompt medical attention is essential in these cases to control bleeding, manage pain, and prevent complications like infection. In the long-term, the patient may require prosthetics, physical rehabilitation, and psychological support. The outcome and recovery can vary greatly depending on the severity of the injury, the body parts involved, and the overall health of the individual.
