T11: Other injuries of upper limb, level unspecified
T11.0: Superficial injury of upper limb, level unspecified
Superficial injury of the upper limb, level unspecified, refers to any minor wounds or damages that occur on the surface layer of your arm, from your shoulder to your hand, where the depth or extent of the injury is not specifically classified. This can include a wide range of injuries such as scratches, abrasions, blisters, or minor burns. These injuries typically present with symptoms like pain, tenderness, redness, or minor bleeding, depending on the cause and nature of the trauma. Common causes for such injuries could be incidental contact with sharp or rough surfaces, accidental exposure to heat or irritating substances, or minor impacts during daily tasks and activities. These injuries usually only affect the skin and the underlying connective tissues, and generally do not involve any major blood vessels, nerves, or bones.
