What kind of tissue damage can you find in joint dislocation?
Repeat dislocations of the same joint are common because the initial dislocation stretches the joint capsule and ligaments, resulting in loose capsule which provides poor support of the joint.
What reinforce the fibrous capsule help to prevent dislocation of the joint?
synovial membrane
Occurs when a bone is forced out of its joint?
A dislocation happens when a bone is forced out of its joint.
Which injury occurs when the ends of the bones in a joint are forced out their normal positions?
Dislocation is displacement of a bone from its joint, and subluxation is partial displacement of a bone from its joint. There are many structures that hold a joint in it's place, one of these is ligament which is a rigid and somewhat flexible structure, and capsule surround a joint which is filled with synovial fluid. When a force want to displace the joint for example during jumping or anything like this these structures prevent the joint from being displaced.
Incomplete dislocation of a joint is known as?
subluxation
What is twisting of ligaments at joint?
twisting of ligaments at joints
What is the twisting of ligaments at joint?
twisting of ligaments at joints
How are ligaments affected by dislocation?
In the event of a dislocation, one of the bones making up the joint is forced out of its natural alignment from excessive stretching and tearing of the joint ligaments and capsule. Muscles and tendons surrounding the joint are usually stretched and injure
What results when the ligaments that attach a bone at a joint are torn as the bone slips out of place?
Dislocation

What is displacement of a bone from its joint?
It's called a dislocation.
Occurs when a bone is forced out of its joint?
A dislocation happens when a bone is forced out of its joint.
What are the risks of dislocations?
Risk factors that can increase susceptibility of joint dislocation and subluxation are shallow or abnormally formed joint surfaces present at birth (congenital) and/or other diseases of ligaments and tissue around a joint.
What ligaments stops anterior dislocation?
Your answer depends on what particular joint you are asking about. I assume you are asking about the knee in which the posterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from slipping forward (anterior) in the joint with the fibia and tibia.
What is the most common type of dislocation?
Hip joint dislocation
Where can one find information on joint dislocation?
One can find information on joint dislocation in advanced biography books on the human body. In addition, one can learn more on joint dislocation by talking with doctors.
