T87: Complications peculiar to reattachment and amputation
T87.1: Complications of reattached (part of) lower extremity
If parts of the leg or foot have been severed, due to injury for example, the original condition can then be restored in some cases. The affected parts of the body can be fully reattached to each other through surgery.
You suffered health problems in the course of this type of restoration. After a restoration, the blood supply to the affected part of the body may not be adequate, for example. Wounds may also fail to heal correctly, or swelling may occur. During this process a particular pain disorder may also develop. This pain disorder involves the development of pains that cannot be explained by the original injury. If the injury or surgery involves damage to muscles, this can result in kidney damage. Certain muscle components can get into the kidneys via the blood and damage them.
