Symptoms[edit | edit source]

The symptoms of syndestructible can vary greatly depending on the specific structures involved. Common symptoms may include pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. In severe cases, syndestructible can lead to significant disability.

Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

Diagnosis of syndestructible typically involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, may also be used to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the condition.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Treatment for syndestructible often involves physical therapy to improve range of motion and decrease pain. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to separate the fused structures.

Prognosis[edit | edit source]
