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.

Complete tearing away of a muscle or ligament from attachment to a bone is called an avulsion injury. This type of injury typically requires medical attention to properly diagnose and treat.
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 occurs when the ligament is stretched or torn due to excessive force or overextension. This can lead to pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation to allow the ligament to heal.
Ligament attaches muscle to bone. If a ligament is yanked hard enough, it can yank pieces of bone loose or just crack the bone (an indirect fracture).
