What is a torn ligament or tendon?

A torn ligament or tendon is a type of injury that occurs when the tough bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones (ligaments) or attach muscles to bones (tendons) are partially or completely torn.

These injuries can be caused by sudden, forceful movements or overuse and can result in pain, swelling, bruising, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the affected area. The severity of the injury can vary, ranging from minor strains to complete tears that require surgery to repair.
