Sprains and strains

Sprains and strains are common acute soft-tissue injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system across both athletic and general populations Pathophysiologically driven by sudden tensile overload, eccentric stress, or blunt trauma, these injuries manifest clinically with localized pain, edema, ecchymosis, muscle spasm, joint laxity, and impaired functional mobility

A sprain involves the stretching, microscopic disruption, or complete tearing of ligaments supporting a joint, whereas a strain involves mechanical overstretching or structural rupture of muscle fibers or tendons, frequently occurring at the musculotendinous junction
