What are the types of dislocation bones?
There are two main types of dislocation bones:
Complete dislocations occur when the bone completely separates from its joint. This can happen as a result of a traumatic injury, such as a car accident or a fall from a height.
Incomplete dislocations (also known as subluxations) occur when the bone partially separates from its joint. This type of dislocation is often caused by a sports injury, such as a knee dislocation. Some common signs and symptoms of a dislocation bone include: pain, swelling, bruising, instability, and deformity. If you think you may have dislocated a bone, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to prevent long-term problems. Dislocation bones can be treated using a variety of methods, including closed reduction, open reduction, and surgery. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged ligaments or tendons
