T11.8: Other specified injuries of upper limb, level unspecified
The medical condition represented by the ICD-10 code T11.8 is referred to as "other specified injuries of upper limb, level unspecified." This is a broad categorization that includes various types of injuries and damages to any part of the upper limb for which the specific level is not indicated. The upper limb normally comprises your shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist and hand. Any injury to these areas that is not classified elsewhere falls under this category. The injuries might include, but are not limited to, muscle strains, sprains, fractures, dislocations, or any unclassified traumatic injuries. They can occur due to a variety of incidents such as accidents, falls, sports activities, or any physical trauma. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort or pain to severe pain, swelling, bruising, loss of movement or function, depending on the type and extent of the injury.
