S60-S69: Injuries to the wrist and hand

Injuries to the wrist and hand encompass a variety of conditions resulting from trauma to these specific body parts. Typically, these injuries can occur from falls, accidents, sports activities, or repetitive movements that strain the muscles and joints. Symptoms may range from mild to severe and can include pain, swelling, bruising, and decreased range of motion or function. One might also experience numbness or tingling, which can suggest nerve involvement. The progression of these injuries can differ based on the severity and type of trauma. Minor injuries, like sprains, usually heal over time with rest, while more severe injuries such as fractures or dislocations may lead to ongoing issues if not treated properly. Any part of the wrist and hand can be affected, including the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves.
