What is a Ligament Injury?
Ligaments are tough, fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones and stabilize your joints. A ligament injury happens when these tissues are stretched, partially torn, or completely ruptured—usually due to sudden twisting, trauma, or overstretching during sports or accidents.
Commonly affected areas include the knee (ACL, MCL), ankle, wrist, and shoulder. Ligament injuries can range from mild sprains to complete tears and may cause instability, swelling, and long-term weakness if not treated properly.
