Usually sprains and strains, but complete or partial tearing can occur when the injury is severe.
your muscles moves, moving ligaments and tendons
Ankle sprains happen when the foot twists, rolls or turns beyond its normal motions. A great force is transmitted upon landing. You can sprain your ankle if the foot is planted unevenly on a surface, beyond the normal force of stepping. This causes the ligaments to stretch beyond their normal range in an abnormal position.
Whiplash usually occurs in car accidents but can also occur from sports. This happens because the sudden impact from the collision 'whips' the head forwards and back hyperextending the surrounding muscles, ligaments and tendons. This also means the neck is extended outside its normal range of motion.
contracturecontracturecontracture
Contracting.Contracture - is the permanent tightening of fascia, muscles, tendons,ligaments, or skin that occurs when normally elastic connectivetissues are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues.
A contracture is the permanent tightening of fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or skin that occurs when normally elastic connective tissues are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues. The most common causes of contractures are scarring or the lack of use due to immobilization or inactivity.
avulsed fragment occurs when bone fragments are pulled from their normal position by forceful muscle contractions or resistance from ligaments. Segmental fragmented positioning occurs if fractures in two adjacent areas occur
A sprain (from the French espraindre - to wring) is an injury which occurs to ligaments caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. Muscular tears caused in the same manner are referred to as a strain. In cases where either ligament or muscle tissue is torn, immobilization and surgical repair may be necessary.
stone-like deposits known as tophi may build up in the joints, ligaments, and tendons, leading to permanent joint deformity and decreased motion. (In addition to causing the tophi associated with gout, hyperuricemia can also cause kidney stones
Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Yes, this is true that when ligaments reinforcing a joint which are excessively stretched or torn a sprain occurs.
