A sprain is the stretching, twisting, wrenching or tearing of a ligament. Ligaments are bands of tough, fibrous and flexible tissue that connect two bones and hold a joint together. Any joint can get sprained, but sprains usually occur in the ankles or the wrists. A sprain can be a minor twisting of a ligament or a severe rupture needing surgical repair. Depending on the severity, a sprain is categorized into three grades. A first-grade sprain refers to only the stretching and twisting of a ligament without tearing. In a second-grade sprain, there is an incomplete tear of the ligament, making the joint slightly loose. A sprain with a complete tear of the ligament, which leads to the instability of the joint, is called a third-grade sprain.
