The severity of a ligament injury progresses from ___________(a) strain to tear(b) sprain to tear(c) strain to sprain(d) sprain to strainThe question was posed to me in semester exam.Origin of the question is Fractures topic in division Orthopaedics of Clinical Science

Answer»

The CORRECT CHOICE is (b) sprain to tear

For explanation I would say: When a ligament is injured, the SEVERITY goes from the sprain to tear. When a MUSCLE is injured, the severity is measured from strain to tear. Sprain/strain both stand for the pull of the fibers. If the pull is small, it will result in simple inflammation. If the pull is severe, it will result in a tear.
