Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -dislocation, in physiology and medicine, displacement of the bones forming a joint, with consequent disruption of tissues. Dislocations are caused by stresses forceful enough to overcome the resistance of the ligaments, muscles, and capsule that hold the joint in place.
Detailed explanation-2: -A dislocation is a separation of two bones where they meet at a joint. This injury can be very painful and can temporarily deform and immobilize the joint. The most common locations for a dislocation are shoulders and fingers, but can also occur in elbows, knees and hips.
Detailed explanation-3: -A dislocation is defined as a complete displacement of joint surfaces so that they no longer make normal contact at all.
