S60-S69: Injuries to the wrist and hand
S66: Injury of muscle and tendon at wrist and hand level
The injuries of muscle and tendon at wrist and hand level are a group of conditions that mainly involve the tissue structures in the wrist and hands. These can range from simple strains to severe tendon and muscle tears. Commonly caused by accidents, sports injuries, overuse, or repetitive motions, these conditions often present with symptoms such as pain, swelling, reduced range of motion, and in severe cases, inability to use the hand or wrist. As the condition progresses, more symptoms may begin to manifest including increased pain and worsening hand or wrist function. In the case of severe injuries, the injury may result in an observable deformity in the wrist or hand structure. These conditions majorly affect the musculoskeletal system, primarily impacting hand and wrist mobility and functionality.
