sprains are to do with muscles I think, whereas breaks are bones (obviously). Not really sure what's unique about fractures.

I think a fracture is more of a crack in the bone more than an actual break (I think anyway)

Sprain = just a muscular thing. According to Wikipedia, its and injury "..of joints that is caused by being stretched beyond their oversized capacity and possibly more."

Fracture = Crack in a bone.

Break = Pretty self explanatory.

I was told a fracture hurts more than a break. No idea why but it's apparently true. Having said that I fractured my arm in two places once and wasn't fussed in the slightest. Infact I only took myself to hospital for the attention They put me in plaster but I took it off about a fortnight later
