reimpacted
Stuck once more
Reimpacted means impacted again, whether physically or figuratively.
In medical contexts, it often describes a tooth or bone fragment that has become wedged or lodged a second time after initial treatment: The wisdom tooth reimpacted after the failed extraction.
More broadly, it can mean affected again by some force or circumstance: Communities reimpacted by flooding faced mounting recovery costs.
