joint dislocation
Socket loses bone
Joint dislocation is the displacement of bones at a joint, where the surfaces that normally meet are forced apart.
This typically results from trauma—a fall, collision, or sudden force—and causes immediate pain, swelling, and inability to move the joint normally.
Common sites include shoulders, fingers, and kneecaps.
