S67.8: Crushing injury of other and unspecified parts of wrist and hand
Crushing can occur when a strong pressure is exerted on part of the body. This can occur as a result of an accident or a blow, for example. Muscles, nerves, blood vessels or bones can be damaged as a result of crushing.
When your hand or wrist are crushed, you can usually no longer move them properly. You may have also pain at that location. There may also be bruising.
