Dislocation: Overview
A dislocation occurs when a joint connecting two bones is injured, thereby causing the bones to separate. Dislocations typically occur in the shoulder, jaw, and knee. A dislocation can be quite painful, and a doctor may have to physically realign the joint and bones, either by noninvasive manipulation of the affected area or through a surgical procedure.
