T03.4: Dislocations, sprains and strains involving multiple regions of upper limb(s) with lower limb(s)
You have injured joints in various places.
You have injured joints in your shoulder, arm or hand and in your hip, leg or foot.
An injured joint may be dislocated, for example. The bones in the joint are then no longer properly aligned. Cartilage, ligaments or the joint capsule may also be injured. The body’s ligaments consist of tough connective tissue. Ligaments hold the joints together and ensure that we can move our joints normally. Joints are encased in a joint capsule.
