A dislocation occurs when the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal alignment, often due to trauma, falls, or sports injuries. It leads to severe pain, visible deformity, swelling, and loss of movement. Immediate medical attention is essential to prevent complications such as nerve or ligament damage. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in recovery, restoring mobility, stability, and strength, and reducing the risk of future dislocations through targeted rehabilitation.
Causes of Dislocation:
- Sudden trauma (falls, accidents)
- Sports injuries (contact or high-impact activities)
- Congenital joint laxity (hypermobile joints)
- Weak or damaged ligaments
- Previous dislocations increasing recurrence risk
Symptoms of Dislocation:
- Severe joint pain
- Visible deformity or abnormal joint shape
- Swelling and bruising
- Inability to move the joint
- Numbness or tingling due to nerve compression
