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.
