A ligament tear occurs when there is a sudden stop, lift, twist or blow to a particular ligament. Ligaments are more prone to tear, and athletes and older people are commonly affected. When the ligament is torn, there is pain, discomfort, and swelling. The ability of the ligament to heal completely depends on the amount of damage. Combination therapy of bracing, physiotherapy, heat application, and medications help in healing. When the extent of tear is greater than surgery is suggested.
