Any ligament can be sprained, but the most frequently injured ligaments are at the ankle, knee, and finger joints.
There are three grades of sprains. Grade I sprains. Grade II sprains. Grade III, or third degree, sprains
wrist: back
Sprains frequently occur in the ankle, knee, and wrist due to their involvement in various activities and movements. On the other hand, strains are common in the muscles of the back, hamstrings, and quadriceps, often resulting from overexertion or improper lifting techniques. Both injuries can cause pain and limit mobility, but their underlying mechanisms differ, with sprains affecting ligaments and strains affecting muscles or tendons.
Usually sprains and strains, but complete or partial tearing can occur when the injury is severe.
Fraction are mathematical and sprains are health related. Now Fractures are broken bones and Sprains occur when a body part is twisted past the normal range of motion and tendons are stretched beyond their normal capability and the body will usually respond with swelling and pain so nothing is broken like fractures. Fractures usually are very painful and you will feel pain that does not go away. Sprains will hurt and sometimes a lot but the pain goes away little by little and so does the swelling. Fractures are usually detected by X-rays. Sprains can't be scene on a standard X-ray because it is soft tissue damage.

Sprains and strains are common. Anyone can have them. Children under age eight are less likely to have sprains than are older people. People who are active in sports suffer more strains and sprains than less active people.
Injuries to ligaments and joints are called sprains. Sprains occur when the ligaments are stretched or torn due to sudden forces or twisting movements. Treatment for sprains typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Either the wrist or the ankle. These joints are particularly 'delicate' being constructed from many small bones rather than just two (like the shoulder).
Ankle sprains may include Swelling, Bruising, Pain or soreness, Difficulty walking and Stiffness in the joint. Medfoot.com is best source to get detailed information on Ankle sprains.
