S54: Injury of nerves at forearm level

Injury of nerves at the forearm level refers to a group of conditions involving damage to the nerves that are located in the forearm. This kind of injury can occur from various causes, such as a physical trauma like a fall or blow, a surgical procedure, or even as a result of an underlying medical condition like diabetes which can cause nerve damage over time. Common symptoms can vary widely, depending on the specific nerve or nerves affected and may include pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, most typically in the hand and fingers, but can affect the entire arm. The disease progression will depend largely on the severity of the nerve damage: minor injuries can heal over time and cause only temporary symptoms, while severe or untreated nerve injuries can lead to persistent problems or even permanent nerve damage.
