Un esguince, torcedura o distensión ligamentosa es una lesión de los ligamentos por distensión, estiramiento excesivo, torsión o rasgadura, acompañada de hematoma, inflamación y dolor que impide continuar moviendo la parte lesionada. Se origina al afectarse la región articular por acción mecánica (la exigencia de un movimiento brusco, excesiva apertura o cierre articular, movimiento anti-natural) o por violencia (caída, golpe). No debe confundirse con la luxación, la cual es una lesión más severa que involucra el cambio de posición de la articulación y la separación de sus huesos. El esguince es similar al desgarro muscular, pero afectando a ligamentos en vez de a músculos.
