Strained ligament

In vertebrates, ligaments are cords of connective tissue that connect bone pieces to each other, and run in parallel with elastic fibers. After the ligament is strained, local swelling, pain, tenderness, and bruising can be seen with subcutaneous bleeding. It is very important to handle joint ligament sprains early. Because the ligament tissue is not easy to regenerate and recover, if it is mishandled or misdiagnosed and turned into a chronic disease, dysfunction may remain and it is easy to be damaged again in the future.
