S56: Injury of muscle and tendon at forearm level

Injury of muscle and tendon at forearm level refers to a group of conditions resulting from trauma or overuse that affect the soft tissues of the forearm. These injuries can usually occur due to sudden or repetitive muscle strain, direct impact, excessive stretching, or powerful contractions during activities like lifting, sports, or accidents. Symptoms commonly involve pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to move the forearm or hand normally. Some may lead to a more gradual onset of discomfort and weakness especially during use. As the injury progresses, the individual may find it increasingly difficult to perform tasks that involve the forearm. It could lead to longer-term problems if not addressed appropriately, including chronic pain or reduced function. The musculoskeletal system, specifically the forearm's muscles and tendons, is primarily affected. It's noteworthy that the severity of symptoms and progression largely depend on the extent of the injury.
