T02: Fractures involving multiple body regions
T02.4: Fractures involving multiple regions of both upper limbs
Fractures involving multiple regions of both upper limbs is a complex injury that affects various parts of both arms. This can potentially include the shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, or hand. Caused by severe trauma, such as falls, car accidents, or direct blows, these fractures usually present with symptoms like pain, swelling, bruising, and inability to move the affected limbs. The severity can range from simple fractures, where the bone is broken in one place, to complicated fractures, where the bone shatters into multiple pieces or pierces the skin. This condition may affect normal arm and hand functions temporarily or permanently depending on the type of fracture and areas involved. Recovery often involves a combination of medical procedures, immobilization, physical therapy, and possibly surgery.
