An injury to a ligament resulting from overuse or trauma. The treatment of a sprain injury includes ice packs, resting and elevating the involved joint and anti-inflammatory medications. Depending on the severity and location, support bracing can help. Local cortisone injections are sometimes given for persistent inflammation. Activity is resumed gradually. Ice application after activity can reduce or prevent recurrent inflammation. In severe sprains, an orthopedic surgical repair is performed.
A stretching or tearing of ligaments. Severity ratings of sprains are: first-degree, stretching of the ligament; second-degree, partial tearing; third-degree, complete tears
A joint injury. A violent twisting, stretching, pulling or tearing of a ligament.
A stretching but no tear of a ligament. Athlete may be able to continue to play or usually return to play in a few days.
A partial tear of a ligament. Bracing may be required. Athlete will usually miss one to four weeks.

a wrenching or twisting injury to a ligament
A tear or stretching in a ligament, resulting in pain and swelling.
Joint injury in which ligaments and other joint stabilising structures may be damaged or torn. See Sprains Strains and Contusions
trauma to a joint that causes pain and disability depending on the degree of injury to the ligaments ( Kaishore Guggulu)
A joint injury in which the supporting ligaments are partially or sometimes fully torn.
Partial or complete tearing of ligaments as a result of sudden movement
A tear or partial tear of ligament tissue surrounding a joint, due to trauma such as a twist. A sprain may also affect other surrounding soft tissues surrounding the joint and can even be accompanied by bony injury.
A partial of complete tear of a ligament.
Stretching or tearing of ligaments of a joint, following a sudden twisting, wrenching or external force.
An injury to a ligament when the joint is carried through a range of motion greater than normal, but without dislocation or fracture.
Trauma to the joint capsule or ligaments, causing pain and impairment of joint movement, depending upon the degree of severity of injury to the ligaments.
Injury to ligaments around a joint.
A sudden or violent twist or wrench of a joint causing the stretching or twisting of ligaments and often rupture of blood vessels with hemorrhage to the tissues.

A sprain (from the French espraindre - to wring) is an injury which occurs to ligaments caused by a sudden overstretching (for the muscle injury, see strain). The ligament is usually only stretched, but sometimes it can be snapped, slightly torn, or ruptured, all of which are more serious and require longer to heal.
