Name the type of injury where a bone is forced out of its normal position at a joint. [1]
Answer Details
Answer: Dislocation. [1]
A dislocation occurs when the end of a bone is forced out of its normal position at a joint, usually as a result of a sudden impact or fall. It is most common at the shoulder (which has a wide range of movement and is therefore less stable), fingers and kneecap. The joint appears visibly deformed, is extremely painful, and the performer is unable to move it. Immediate medical attention is required to relocate the bone, and the joint is usually immobilised while the surrounding ligaments heal.
