Crushing injuries involving multiple regions of upper limb(s) with lower limb(s) - what does this mean

Crushing injuries involving multiple regions of upper limb(s) with lower limb(s) occur when a large amount of force is applied to the limbs, resulting in tissue destruction, muscle damage, and bone fractures. this type of injury is usually caused by a motor vehicle accident or a fall from a great height.

What happens during the disease - crushing injuries involving multiple regions of upper limb(s) with lower limb(s)

Crushing injuries involving multiple regions of upper limb(s) with lower limb(s) can cause severe tissue damage due to the direct force applied to the affected limb(s). this can result in disruption of the blood supply to the affected area, leading to ischemia and necrosis of the affected tissue. additionally, the disruption of the nerves and muscle may lead to loss of sensation and motor function. the severity of the injury can range from minor soft tissue damage to complete amputation of the affected limb(s).
