Ligaments stretch when pulled by bone due to their viscoelastic properties, which allow them to deform under stress. When a bone moves, it exerts tension on the attached ligament, causing the collagen fibers within the ligament to elongate. This stretching helps to accommodate movement and maintain joint stability, but excessive stretching can lead to injury or ligament damage.

Is avulsion fracture full width of the bone?
An avulsion fracture typically does not involve the full width of the bone; instead, it occurs when a small fragment of bone is pulled away by a tendon or ligament. This type of fracture usually affects a specific area where the tendon or ligament attaches, rather than breaking through the entire width of the bone. The severity and specifics can vary, but the fracture is generally limited to a localized region.
Is a torn ligament a strain?
No, a torn ligament is a sprain. A sprain can happen when a ligament is overstretched. It can be caused by a twist or wrench. So a twisted ankle is a sprained ankle. A strain refers to when you tear or overstretch a muscle or tendon (which attach muscles to bones). This can be caused by a sudden stretch or extra effort. So a pulled hamstring is a strained hamstring.
