S60-S69: Injuries to the wrist and hand
S64: Injury of nerves at wrist and hand level
Injuries of nerves at the wrist and hand level is a group of conditions that involve damage to the nerves controlling the hand and wrist. These injuries can occur as a result of various factors such as trauma, fractures, sprains, and repetitive motions causing strain over time. Common symptoms include pain at the wrist or hand, numbness, tingling sensation, or weakness in the muscles controlled by the damaged nerves. In severe cases, it could even lead to the loss of sensation or motor function in the hand or wrist. The progression of these conditions varies widely and depends on the degree and type of injury sustained. These injuries primarily affect the nervous and musculoskeletal systems of the body. Their impact could range from mild temporary discomfort to significant lasting impairment, potentially influencing routine daily activities like grasping objects or performing fine motor tasks, depending on the intensity and location of the nerve injury.
