Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A strain is an injury to a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are fibrous cords of tissue that attach muscles to bone. Strains often occur in the back or leg (typically, the hamstring).

Detailed explanation-2: -When full-thickness wounds extend past the subdermal layers of the skin and involve exposed underlying structures such as tendons, muscle, and bone, they are sometimes referred to as cavity wounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tendon repair isn’t usually regarded as emergency surgery. But, it’s generally carried out as quickly as possible after the injury – usually within a few days. This is because the longer the tendons remain ruptured, the more scarring will develop on the end of the tendons.

Detailed explanation-4: -A sprain is an injury to the ligaments which are soft tissue structures that stabilize a joint. Ligaments are strong, flexible fibers that hold bones together.
