T09.5: Injury of unspecified muscle and tendon of trunk
You have injured your trunk.
The trunk includes the chest, back, abdomen, and pelvis. Various bones support the trunk. These are the spine, the ribs and the pelvic bones, for example. Most organs are in the trunk. These include the heart, the lungs and the kidneys, for example.
You have injured one or more tendons or muscles. Tendons are made up of very firm connective tissue. Tendons attach muscles to bones. Muscles and tendons enable corresponding parts of the body to be moved. If an injury occurs, the problems depend on which muscle or tendon has been damaged. You may be in pain or you may no longer be able to move affected areas properly, for example.
