There are three grades of sprains: Grade 1 involves stretching of the ligament with mild damage, Grade 2 involves partial tearing of the ligament, and Grade 3 involves complete tearing of the ligament. Each grade presents with varying levels of pain, swelling, and loss of function.
A traumatic injury to a joint involving the ligaments is graded based on the severity of the injury. Grade 1 is a mild sprain with slight stretching or microscopic tearing of the ligament. Grade 2 is a moderate sprain with partial tearing of the ligament. Grade 3 is a severe sprain with complete tearing of the ligament, resulting in joint instability.
The tearing of a ligament at the joint is normally referred to as a complete tear or a Grade 3 strain.
The separation of a body part by tearing is called an avulsion. This refers to the forceful pulling or tearing of a body part from its normal position, leading to a partial or complete detachment. Avulsions can result from trauma, accidents, or injuries.
Overuse or overextension of a ligament can result in a sprain, which is a stretching or tearing of the ligament. This can cause pain, swelling, and instability in the affected joint. Severe cases may require medical intervention such as physical therapy or surgery.

A complete tear or complete rupture, whether it involves a tendon (muscle-to-bone connection) or a ligament (bone-to-bone connection)
A ligament sprain is the stretching or tearing of a ligament, which is a tough band of tissue that connects bone to bone and provides stability to a joint. Sprains can range from mild (little stretching and microscopic tearing) to severe (complete tear of the ligament). Treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE therapy) along with physical therapy to help regain strength and range of motion.

What is the answer to a(n) _____ fracture is an indirect fracture caused by tearing or pulling of a ligament?
The separation of a body part by tearing is called an avulsion. This refers to the forceful pulling or tearing of a body part from its normal position, leading to a partial or complete detachment. Avulsions can result from trauma, accidents, or injuries.
Usually sprains and strains, but complete or partial tearing can occur when the injury is severe.
A sprained ligament is a complete or partial tearing of the ligament tissue.There are three types of sprains:Type 1 (First Degree) Sprain:* Some stretching or mild tearing of the ligament* Little or no functional loss - the joint can still function and bear some weight (but hurts!)* Mild pain* Some swelling* Some joint stiffnessType 2 (Second Degree) Sprain:* Some more severe tearing of the ligaments* Moderate instability of the joint* Moderate to severe pain - weightbearing is very painful* Swelling and stiffnessType 3 (Third Degree) Sprain:* Total rupture of a ligament - there is a loss of motion* Gross instability of the joint - joint function is lost* Severe pain initially followed by no pain* Severe swellingI've experienced all three types of sprains on my ankles and knee playing basketball and soccer, and can testify that all the above details are accurate.
A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, while a sprain is an injury to a ligament. Strains usually involve overstretching or tearing of muscle fibers, while sprains involve overstretching or tearing of ligament fibers.
