A member asked:
What is dislocation and does it fix itself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Out of joint: Dislocation is when the bones which come together to form a joint are no longer touching each other. It is possible the dislocation may reduce itself back to a normal position, but often times needs emergency treatment.
