Frequently Asked Questions
What’s The Difference Between Tendons And Ligaments?
Whereas tendons connect our muscles to bones, ligaments connect bones to other bones. Essentially, the difference between tendons and ligaments is that they connect different parts of our anatomy.
What’s The Difference Between a Sprain And A Strain?
Many people falsely assume that sprains and strains are interchangeable terms. A sprain refers to a tear in a ligament, while a strain is a tear in a muscle or a tendon.
What Is Arthroscopic Surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery (also known as arthroscopy) is a minimally-invasive procedure used by orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat issues inside your joints. A tiny scope called an arthroscope is used to access your joints by making very tiny, keyhole-shaped incisions. Patients tend to recover faster from this type of surgery because the incisions are much smaller than those used during traditional surgery.
What Are The Three Degrees Of A Sprain?
Sprains can occur in three degrees or “grades.”
Grade I: Very mild tearing or stretching of the ligament. No joint instability.
Grade II: Moderate tearing of the ligament with some joint instability.
Grade III: A severe tearing or rupturing of the ligament that feels like a broken bone.
