1. A fracture is a break in the bone that can occur from either a quick, one-time injury to the bone (acute fracture) or from repeated stress to the bone over time (stress fracture).
2. A sprain is abnormal stretching or tearing of a ligament that supports a joint. A strain is abnormal stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon. Sprains and strains may be caused by repetitive activities or by a single overuse injury. Pain, swelling, and bruising are common signs and symptoms of sprains and strains.
3. When the two bones that come together to form a joint become separated, the joint is described as being dislocated.
4. A sprain is a stretch and/or a tear of a ligament, which is the tough band of connective tissue that joins the end of one bone with another. Ligaments work to stabilize and support the body's joints. Sprains are typically caused by a direct or indirect shock that knocks a joint out of position.
5. Strains are a twist, pull and/or tear of a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones.
