There are numerous injuries that can be suffered by the upper limb. These injuries have been classified according to the following anatomical areas:

Upper arm:
Injuries to this area include contusions or bruising of the biceps or triceps, where repetitive injury of this nature at the same site can lead to certain complications. These include myositis ossificans, where the intramuscular bruising can harden and actually form small shards of bone-like matter that may need to be removed surgically.

We also encounter ruptures of the bicep muscle, which is tearing of the muscle.

Elbow:
Injuries to this area include contusions of the elbow joint, bursitis of the elbow, strains and sprains, dislocation and fractures.

Forearm:
Injuries to this area include contusions to the forearm and fractures.
