Casts and splints are orthopedic devices that are used to protect and support broken (fractured) or injured bones and joints. They help to immobilize the injured limb to keep the bone in place until it fully heals.

SPRAINS, STRAINS & TENNIS ELBOW

The symptoms of a sprain and a strain are very similar. That’s because the injuries themselves are very similar. The main difference is that with a sprain you may have bruising around the affected joint, whereas with a strain, you may have spasms in the affected muscle.
