∙ 15y agoLigaments are the tissue that hold bones in their joints. They are like very strong rubber bands. When a bone is dislocated, the ligaments are either stretched too far or torn. While you can put the bone back in by pulling on it and allowing it to snap back into place, you should be checked out by a doctor to make sure there is no damage to the ligaments and surrounding tissue. Plus, a doctor might recommend that a dislocation, even though put back into place, should be immobilized for a while to allow the surrounding area to heal from the shock and trauma.
