Absence or low individual and public risk
Crushing injuries involving multiple regions of upper limb(s) - what does this mean
Crushing injuries involving multiple regions of the upper limb(s) occur when the limb(s) is/are subjected to a significant amount of force, such as when a person is pinned between two objects. this force can cause damage to the bone, muscle, and tissue of the limb(s), resulting in pain, swelling, and a range of other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - crushing injuries involving multiple regions of upper limb(s)
Crushing injuries involving multiple regions of the upper limb(s) can cause severe damage to the soft tissues and bones, resulting in disruption of the normal functioning of the affected limb(s). the disruption of the normal functioning of the limb(s) can lead to a decrease in range of motion, loss of sensation, and/or weakness in the affected limb(s). furthermore, the disruption of the normal functioning of the limb(s) can lead to secondary complications such as infection, nerve damage, and/or vascular injury.
