Injury of unspecified muscle and tendon at lower leg level - what does this mean
Injury of unspecified muscle and tendon at lower leg level occurs when the muscle or tendon is overstretched or torn due to trauma or repetitive strain. this can occur from a single traumatic event, such as a fall or twist, or from repetitive movements, such as running or jumping. the injury can range from mild to severe, depending on the extent of the damage.
What happens during the disease - injury of unspecified muscle and tendon at lower leg level
The pathogenesis of injury of unspecified muscle and tendon at lower leg level is likely due to the mechanical force of a traumatic event, such as a fall, that causes the muscle and tendon to stretch beyond their normal range of motion. this causes the muscle fibers to tear and the tendon to rupture, resulting in inflammation, pain, and decreased range of motion in the affected area.
