PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sprains are ligament injuries resulting from wrenching or twisting a joint. Strains are injuries to a muscle or tendon, and are often caused by overuse, force, or stretching. The ankle is the most commonly sprained or strained joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments-the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in your joints. The most common location for a sprain is in your ankle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments around a joint. Ligaments are strong, flexible fibers that hold bones together. When a ligament is stretched too far or tears, the joint will become painful and swell.

Detailed explanation-4: -A grade 3 sprain is most serious. It means that the ligament is completely torn or ruptured. You experience severe swelling and bruising. The joint probably isn’t functional because it’s too unstable, and movement creates intense pain.
