T09: Other injuries of spine and trunk, level unspecified
T09.2: Dislocation, sprain and strain of unspecified joint and ligament of trunk
The trunk includes the chest, back, abdomen, and pelvis. Various bones support the trunk. These are the spine, the ribs and the pelvic bones, for example. Most organs are in the trunk. These include the heart, the lungs and the kidneys, for example.
You have injured a joint. In the torso this may be a joint in the spinal column, for example. An injured joint may be dislocated, for example. The bones in the joint are then no longer properly aligned. Cartilage, ligaments or the joint capsule may also be injured. The body’s ligaments consist of tough connective tissue. Ligaments hold the joints together and ensure that we can move our joints normally. Joints are encased in a joint capsule.
