S60-S69: Injuries to the wrist and hand
S65: Injury of blood vessels at wrist and hand level
Injury of blood vessels at wrist and hand level, as its name suggests, refers to a specific group of conditions that involve damage to the blood vessels located in the wrist and hand region. These conditions are typically caused by acute physical trauma, such as crush injuries, cuts, or puncture wounds. However, they can also be a result of recurrent strain or degenerative conditions like vasculitis. Common symptoms often include visible swelling, pain, bruising, or bleeding in the wrist or hand. In severe cases, there may be signs of decreased blood flow to the hand, such as pallor, coldness, numbness, or weakness. Disease progression and severity can vary, depending largely on the exact nature of the injury and the specific vessels involved. As these conditions directly affect the circulatory system, they can potentially impact the overall health and function of the hand and wrist.
