T00-T07: Injuries involving multiple body regions
T03: Dislocations, sprains and strains involving multiple body regions
Dislocations, sprains, and strains involving multiple body regions encompass a variety of injuries that affect the joints and muscles of the body. Dislocations occur when a bone is forced out of its normal position in a joint, often after a sudden impact. Sprains and strains involve injury to ligaments and muscles, respectively. They are typically caused by a sudden twist, pull or tear, often as a result of an accident or sports-related activity. Common symptoms across these injuries include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty using the affected area. The body regions impacted by these injuries can present in many combinations, depending on the nature and extent of the traumatic event. The progression of these conditions is largely dependent on the severity of the injury, with some minor cases healing on their own, while more severe injuries can result in ongoing discomfort and require more extensive medical intervention.
