T02.2: Fractures involving multiple regions of one upper limb

Fractures involving multiple regions of one upper limb, as indicated by the ICD-10 code T02.2, refer to a specific type of injury where more than one part of either the left or the right arm is broken. This condition can occur following severe trauma such as a fall, vehicle collision, or a sports injury. Symptoms typically include intense pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to move the affected limb. Depending on the severity and location of the fractures, individuals may also experience visible deformity of the arm, or a "crunching" sound or feeling within the limb. Understanding the exact regions affected would require a healthcare provider's diagnosis, often using imaging technologies like X-rays or CT scans. The progression of the injury can vary from person to person, largely dependent on factors such as the individual's overall health, the complexity of the break, and the care received after the injury.
