Best Answer

Dislocated joints are typically treated through either medical management or surgery. In some cases, the joint can be manually put back into place and a set of splints, casts and support items can stabilize the joint until the ligaments and tendons heal up and tighten down sufficient to keep the joint in place. In other cases, a veterinarian will have to perform surgery to put the joint back into alignment and/or to keep it there.
