Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grade 2 ligament sprain is characterized by moderate force causing partial tearing of the ligament fibers, often occurring with the ankle in inversion, plantar flexion, and/or adduction. This results in moderate pain, swelling, and instability, distinguishing it from the mild symptoms of a Grade 1 sprain and the severe damage of a Grade 3 sprain. Eversion sprains and syndesmosis sprains involve different mechanisms of injury.
