Tear

A tear is a partial disruption of the continuity of soft tissues such as tendons, muscles, fascia, ligaments and joint capsules that occurs in closed injuries. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, intense exercise, or poor exercise technique.

Soft tissue tears are common injuries experienced by both professional athletes and everyday people involved in physical activity. They can occur as a result of sudden stretching or excessive tension of tissues exceeding their physiological ability to stretch.

Symptoms of a soft tissue tear include pain, swelling, aching or weakness in the injured area, and limited movement. If the tendon is torn, a characteristic crunch or click may be heard.

To diagnose a soft tissue tear, your doctor will perform a physical examination, determine the circumstances of the injury, and may order additional tests, such as an X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound. Accurate diagnosis is important to determine the extent of damage and develop an effective treatment plan.

Treatment for a soft tissue tear depends on its characteristics and severity. In some cases, conservative treatment may be required, which includes rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE technique), anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. In more severe cases, when the tear is accompanied by significant tissue damage or failure of conservative treatment, surgery may be required.

Recovery from a soft tissue tear takes time and patience. Gradually returning to physical activity, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s recommendations and carry out rehabilitation exercises aimed at strengthening and restoring damaged tissues. It's important to prevent re-injury by practicing proper form, warming up before exercise, and respecting your boundaries.

Overall, a soft tissue tear is a serious condition that requires careful attention and proper treatment. It is important to see a doctor if symptoms appear and follow their recommendations to ensure full recovery and prevent possible complications.

A tear is a partial disruption of the continuity of soft tissue formations (tendons, muscles, fascia, ligaments, joint capsule), accompanied by pain, hemorrhage and stretching with a closed injury. Due to the multiplicity of possible causes and the varying severity of consequences, **treatment** and rehabilitation after this pathology are often lengthy and labor-intensive. An injury such as a **tear** of ligaments and tendons occurs due to physical impact or disease that puts stress on the ligaments or joint. A subperiosteal fracture is the most common cause of a ligament or tendon tear. It can occur when you twist your ankle while running, jumping, or walking on rough terrain. This type of fracture is characterized by the fact that it occurs in an area where the growth plate has not yet completely ossified. When a person twists his leg to avoid hitting the ground, his joints are tilted in the wrong direction due to insufficient bone mass. If this force on the ground exceeds the endurance of the knee or ankle ligaments, then on the bone
