There s a very distinct difference between these two medical terms a fracture happens to do with the bones alignment with another bone and a sprang had to do with the bone and the body like a leg has not many bones to it probably the least in the body is when it jolts a direction that means it will not hit another bone causing a sprang and a fracture is like a broken bone but can be worse a fracture is meaning that you break a whole set of bones because one bone of your body was out of line
