Ligaments
Ligaments are strong, flexible bands of connective tissue that connect bones at joints, providing stability and support. In orthopedics, they play a crucial role in maintaining joint integrity and facilitating movement while preventing excessive motion that could lead to injury. Ligament injuries, such as sprains or tears, are common in sports and activities that involve twisting, turning, or impact.
