PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A complete tear/rupture of the muscle. This means either the tendon is separated from the muscle belly or the muscle belly is actually torn in 2 parts. Severe swelling and pain and a complete loss of function are characteristic for this type of strain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle injuries can be caused by bruising, stretching or laceration. The current classification divides such injuries into mild, moderate and severe.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grade II (moderate) strains have nearly half of muscle fibers torn. Acute and significant pain is accompanied by swelling and a minor decrease in muscle strength. Grade III (severe) strains represent the complete rupture of the muscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Grade 3 strain The muscle may be torn into two pieces, or the muscle and tendon may have come apart, and the gap has filled with blood. You’ll have bruising and swelling. Your doctor may place the area in a cast. You may need surgery to reattach the muscle or tendon; recovery may take three to six months.
