SFRAINS Best Way to Treat These Injurics to the Human Frame. It is commonly said that a sprained joint is worze than a broken bone, and this is often true, for in a severe sprain the injury is really greater than in a simple fracture. ‘The ankle is perhaps the most frequently sprained of all the joints, though the kuee, el- bow and wrist are also very liable to be injured, in falls especially. A sprain of a joint varies greatly in severity; It may consist of a sim- ple wrench, without the tearing of any of the ligaments, or it may be a more extensive injury, stopping just short of a dislocation. In a moderately severe case one or more of the ligaments of the joint will be torn slightly, or possibly complete. iy across; the membrana beneath the ligaments, which retains the Iubricat. ing fluid of the joint, will be ruptured, permitting the escape of more or less of this fluid into the parts about and giving rise sometimes to a consider- Increased by an effusion of fluid into the joint, especially if inflammation sets in; and finally there Is usually a slight, or even sometimes a quite pro- nounced, escape of blood into the tie. sues, and this, gradually working to the surface, appears as a black-and- blue stain, In more severe cases the tendons passing over the Joint and attacking the muscles which move It to ths bones may suffer considerable damage or one of them may be broken or torn from its attachment, bringing with it a sliver of bone.
