Arm disorders
Arm injuries and disorders are conditions in which a person has damage to one or both arms, usually altering the appearance and/or function of the damaged arm. Some disorders are birth defects, such as the absence of some muscles or some parts of an arm. Injuries include broken bones, damaged nerves, crushed muscles, etc.
