About Sprains and strains.

Sprains and strains are common acute soft-tissue injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system across both athletic and general populations.

A sprain involves the stretching, microscopic disruption, or complete tearing of ligaments supporting a joint, whereas a strain involves mechanical overstretching or structural rupture of muscle fibers or tendons, frequently occurring at the musculotendinous junction.

Pathophysiologically driven by sudden tensile overload, eccentric stress, or blunt trauma, these injuries manifest clinically with localized pain, edema, ecchymosis, muscle spasm, joint laxity, and impaired functional mobility.
