A complete tear or complete rupture, whether it involves a tendon (muscle-to-bone connection) or a ligament (bone-to-bone connection)
A tendon connects bone to muscle and a ligament connects bone to bone. The actual point of attachment where a muscle connects to a bone is called the process(n) of the bone.
when a ligament is torn it is called hyperextension
Broad Ligament
Ligaments (also known as articular ligament, articular laura, fibrous ligament or true ligament) connect bones together. (Ligament damage is called a sprain.)
The tibial collateral ligament provides medial support for the knee. It's also called the medial collateral ligament.
A tendon connects bone to muscle and a ligament connects bone to bone. The actual point of attachment where a muscle connects to a bone is called the process(n) of the bone.
The tearing of a ligament, the fibrous tissue connecting bone to bone, is called a sprain.Related Information:A strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon (the tendon connects muscle to bone).
when a ligament is torn it is called hyperextension
Capsular ligament, Conoid ligament, Caracoacromial ligament, Superior Transverse Scapular ligament, and Trapezoid ligament.
An injury to either a muscle or the tissue that connects muscle to bone (Called a Tendon) -Apex
Broad Ligament
The accessory ligament is the ligament found outside a joint capsule.
These muscles all have a ligament of insertion which is called the patellar ligament. This ligament inserts to the tibial tuberosity.

A tooth is primarily held in place by the periodontal ligament. The ligament runs the entire length of the tooth root surface and attaches to the bone of the jaw. The width of the ligament is typically less than a millimeter in width. There is a small amount of epithelial tissue (gum tissue) that covers the coronal (top) of the ligament and attaches to the tooth itself, but this attachment is not nearly as strong as the ligament. In periodontal disease (gum disease) bacteria colonize in the small pocket between the tooth and gum. If it remains long enough, the bacteria cause the body to respond in an inflammatory reaction. The immune system produces enzymes that destroy the attachment and the bone surrounding the tooth. Eventually, the tooth no longer has enough attachment and support to withstand the forces of biting and chewing, and the tooth becomes loose and has to be removed.
