T85.8: Other complications of internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, not elsewhere classified

T85.8 refers to a range of complications associated with internal prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts that do not fall under other specific categories. This could include various adverse events or issues that happen post-surgery, such as infections, rejections, mechanical malfunctions, or even abnormal responses or sensitivity to the prosthetic or graft. These complications may manifest in diverse ways such as pain, swelling, redness, or reduced function of the affected body part. The progression of these complications can be different for each individual but is usually related to factors like the type of prosthetic or implant, the surgical procedure involved, the individual's overall health, and how their body responds to the foreign object. Early detection can mitigate the severity of such complications, hence close monitoring post-surgery is often necessary. It is essential to report any abnormalities or uncomfortable experiences to your healthcare provider for timely evaluation and intervention.
