What is the difference between sprain and dislocation?

A sprain is an injury to a ligament, which connects bone to bone, resulting in stretching or tearing of the ligament. A dislocation is when the ends of two connected bones are forced out of their normal position, disrupting the joint. In a dislocation, the bones are completely displaced, while in a sprain, the ligament is damaged.


What is the difference between fracture and dislocation?

A fracture is a break in a bone, while a dislocation is when two bones that meet at a joint are forced out of their normal position. Fractures can be either simple (closed) or compound (open), while dislocations involve the displacement of bones at a joint. Treatment for fractures involves immobilization and possibly surgery, while dislocations may need to be manually relocated by a healthcare provider.
