WHAT ARE LIGAMENT INJURIES?

Ligaments are flexible, strong connective tissues that join bones to form joints, providing stability and mobility. Injury to a ligament can occur due to overuse, sudden twists, or trauma, resulting in sprains (stretched or torn ligaments) or strains (twisted or torn muscles/tendons). Commonly affected areas are knees, ankles, shoulders, and wrists. Ligament injuries are generally graded into three levels:

  • Grade 1: Mild ligament tears
  • Grade 2: Moderate tears
  • Grade 3: Complete rupture

SINGS & SYMPTOMS

Symptoms of ligament injury include:

  • Pain, swelling, or bruising at the joint
  • Popping sound at injury onset
  • Joint stiffness or difficulty moving
  • Instability and limited mobility in severe cases

CAUSES

Ligament injuries are often caused by sudden twists or unexpected joint movements. High-risk activities include sports like football, basketball, and tennis, which demand frequent, intense joint movements. Regular physical activity can help maintain ligament flexibility and reduce injury risk.
