Injury of other flexor muscle and tendon at forearm level - what does this mean
Injury of other flexor muscle and tendon at forearm level typically occurs when the forearm is bent and the muscle and tendon are overstretched or torn. this can be caused by a sudden, forceful movement or repetitive motion of the muscles and tendons.
What happens during the disease - injury of other flexor muscle and tendon at forearm level
The pathogenesis of injury to other flexor muscles and tendons at the forearm level is likely due to an acute traumatic event such as a fall or direct blow to the arm. the force of the impact causes a tear in the muscle and tendon fibers, leading to pain, swelling, and loss of strength and mobility in the affected area. the tear can also cause bleeding and inflammation, leading to further damage to the surrounding tissue. in some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the damage.
