Dislocation

Dislocation refers to the abnormal displacement of bones at a joint where they meet. This often occurs due to injury or trauma, such as falls or sports accidents, causing severe pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. The ends of the bones are often visibly out of place. A dislocation requires medical attention to properly reposition the bones and ensure the joint functions correctly again. If left untreated, it can lead to further complications, including joint instability or damage to surrounding ligaments and nerves. Prompt treatment is crucial for recovery and restoring function.
