Is tetanus the cause of disability?

DEAR DR. GOTT: A patient bit my niece at work while she and others were trying to restrain her. Afterward, my niece was asked when she had her last tetanus shot; she wasn't sure.

A few weeks later, her fist began to clench and she had to place a ball in her hand to keep her nails from digging into her palm. She has severe pain in her arm and recently developed cellulitis. Workers' compensation delayed treatment, and she is now classified as permanently disabled. Do you have any knowledge in this area that would help her try to regain the use of her arm?
