What is the most common injury seen in people with leprosy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremity injury: Uncertain but extremity injury can occur. "People with long-term leprosy may lose the use of their hands or feet due to repeated injury because they lack feeling in those areas." See: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001347.htm
