Explanation

A "complete rupture" in medicine refers to a situation where a tissue, muscle, or ligament in the body breaks or tears completely. This means that the two ends are no longer connected to each other. This is more severe than a partial rupture, where the tissue or muscle is only partly torn. A complete rupture often requires medical treatment or surgery to repair.
