What happens during the disease - frostbite with tissue necrosis of knee and lower leg
Frostbite is an injury caused by exposure to extremely cold temperatures, resulting in tissue damage due to freezing of the affected area. in the case of frostbite of the knee and lower leg, the tissue necrosis is likely caused by a combination of direct cold exposure and the effects of impaired blood circulation in the area. the cold temperatures cause the blood vessels to constrict, reducing the amount of blood flow and oxygen delivery to the affected area. this leads to cell death and tissue necrosis in the affected area.
