S52: Fracture of forearm

The group of conditions under "Fracture of Forearm" typically involves a break or crack in one or both of the two bones of the forearm -- the radius and the ulna. These fractures can occur in various parts of the forearm -- close to the wrist, in the middle, or near the elbow. They are commonly caused by direct blows, falls, or twisting injuries. Symptoms usually include severe pain, immediate swelling, bruising, inability to rotate or use the arm, and an unnatural look or curve to the forearm. Depending on the fracture severity, there may be a slow progression in the visible deformity and the number of symptoms. These fractures tend to hamper the musculoskeletal system functionality as forearm movements become severely restricted due to intense pain and swelling. The duration of symptoms may vary depending on the extent and location of the fracture and the individual's overall health status.
