Sequelae of injuries of upper limb - what does this mean
Sequelae of injuries of the upper limb occur when the soft tissue, bone or joint of the arm or hand is damaged, leading to impaired function, reduced range of motion, and/or chronic pain. this can be caused by a traumatic event such as a fall, motor vehicle accident, or sports injury, or can be the result of repetitive strain or overuse. treatment is based on the severity of the injury and may include physical therapy, medications, or surgery.
What happens during the disease - sequelae of injuries of upper limb
The sequelae of injuries of the upper limb can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, infection, or vascular compromise. trauma can cause direct injury to the muscles, tendons, nerves, and bones of the upper limb, leading to pain, swelling, and loss of function. infection can lead to inflammation and destruction of the affected structures, resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of function. vascular compromise can result in ischemia of the affected tissues, leading to pain, swelling, and loss of function. the combination of these factors can lead to permanent damage to the affected structures, resulting in long-term disability and impairment of function.
