Frostbite with tissue necrosis of hip and thigh - what does this mean

Frostbite with tissue necrosis of hip and thigh is a condition caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, resulting in freezing and destruction of tissue in the hip and thigh areas. this can cause permanent tissue damage and loss of sensation, as well as potential necrosis of the affected tissues.

What happens during the disease - frostbite with tissue necrosis of hip and thigh

Frostbite is a condition caused by exposure to extreme cold temperatures. it results from the freezing of the skin and underlying tissues, leading to tissue necrosis of the affected area. this is caused by the freezing of the tissue fluids, leading to vascular stasis and a decrease in blood flow. the decreased blood flow causes the tissue to become hypoxic, leading to cell death and tissue necrosis. as the tissue necrosis progresses, the affected area may become swollen, painful, and discolored. in extreme cases, the affected area may become gangrenous and require surgical debridement.
