What is Dislocation of Bones?

A dislocation is complete separation of the bones that form a joint. In subluxation, the bones in a joint are partly out of position. Often, a dislocated joint remains dislocated until it is put back in place (reduced) by a doctor, but sometimes it moves back in place on its own.

A dislocation can cause pain, swelling, and weakness. Your child may also have trouble moving the injured area. An exam and X-rays are often needed to diagnose a dislocation. The bones must be put back into their proper position so the joint can heal.

There are a number of Complications of Dislocation of Bones, which may include
  • Joint problems
  • P/A, i, n
  • Swelling
  • Fractures
  • Infection
  • Vascular injuries
  • Deformity
  • Joint instability
  • Joint separation

A dislocation is an injury in which the ends of your bones are forced from their normal positions. The cause is usually trauma resulting from a fall, an auto accident, or a collision during contact or high-speed sports.

Wearing protective gear like a brace during physical activity may reduce your risk of another dislocation. You may need to work with a physical therapist to strengthen the muscles around the joint you dislocated. This can help prevent repeated dislocations

Certain activities are more at risk for dislocations: Contact sports, such as football and hockey. High impact sports in which falls are common, such as downhill skiing, gymnastics and volleyball. Basketball and football where joints in the fingers can dislocate when accidentally struck.

How is it diagnosed?

Most simple fractures heal well with immobilization and non-weight-bearing activity. You can expect most ankle fractures depending on how severe they are, to take 4-8 weeks for the bones to heal completely and up to several months to regain full use and range of motion of the joint

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

An exam and X-rays are often needed to diagnose a dislocation. The bones must be put back into their proper position so the joint can heal. Other treatments include casts, splints, pain relievers, and surgery.
