T90-T98: Sequelae of injuries, of poisoning and of other consequences of external causes
T92: Sequelae of injuries of upper limb
Sequelae of injuries of the upper limb refers to the residual health complications or conditions that remain after the initial healing process of an injury primarily involving the upper limb - that is, the arms, hands, and fingers. Such injuries could result from a myriad of causes, including accidents, falls, sports injuries, or surgical procedures. The sequelae themselves can be varied and may include reduced mobility or range of movement in the limb, pain, stiffness, numbness, or altered sensation. These conditions can also lead to muscle atrophy or weakness. Disease progression is often gradual and linked to the original injury's severity and the effectiveness of initial treatment. While some individuals may experience minimal long-term complications, others might endure chronic ailments which significantly affect their quality of life and functionality. These conditions primarily impact the musculoskeletal and nervous systems of the body.
