Sprains in orthopedics
Sprains are common orthopedic injuries that occur when ligaments, the fibrous tissues connecting bones at a joint, are stretched or torn. They often result from sudden twisting motions, falls, or direct impacts during sports or everyday activities. Sprains are classified by severity into three grades: Grade I (mild stretching), Grade II (partial tear), and Grade III (complete tear).
