A dislocation is when one of two bones that meet at a joint is knocked out of place, which is usually caused by a blunt force or impact to a joint area. Dislocations can be confused with Fractures due to the level of pain and similar symptoms. A bone that has been knocked out of its joint or socket can lead to Ligament and Tendon Damage, or other Soft Tissue Injuries. Any bone that is connected to a joint can become dislocated, but the most common dislocations are those involving the shoulders, the hips and the fingers.
