Is it true?
Is it true that a sprained joint is worse than a broken joint?
Answers:
You don't break a joint - you break a bone. A joint is where bones come together. There are many ways to mess up a joint:
A sprain is a stretch and/or tear of a ligament, the fibrous band of connective tissue that joins the end of one bone with another. Ligaments stabilize and support the body's joints.
A strain is a twist, pull and/or tear of a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are fibrous cords of tissue that attach muscles to bone.
Knees have pads made of cartilage that can become worn or torn.
Which is the worst? It depends on the specifics of the injury.
Anyone heard of swabbing the mouth for a drug test?
yes ever much so, why
It depends on your view, but a sprain does frequently take longer to heal, so in that sense, yes, it is true.
