Is a sprain worse than fracture?

A fracture is generally more severe than a sprain. A sprain is a type of injury that occurs when a ligament is torn or overstretched. A fracture, on the other hand, is a break in the bone. Sprains can cause pain, swelling, and bruising, while fractures can cause more severe pain, swelling, and deformity. Fractures can also lead to complications such as infection, nerve damage, and blood clots. In general, a fracture is more serious than a sprain and requires more extensive treatment.
