Normally your bones are kept together at the ends by muscles and joints. If you get injured you might dislocate a shoulder, meaning that your two bones meeting at a joint get slightly separated. As a result your shoulder looks crazy, it hurts and you can barely move it.
A dislocation is when a joint comes out of the space that is is supposed to occupy, like a dislocated shoulder or hip.

Which term describes the attempted reduction or restoration of a fracture or dislocation with application of manually applied force?
Closed reduction is the term used to describe the attempted reduction or restoration of a fracture or dislocation with the application of manually applied force, without the need for surgery or incision.
Do you treat a dislocation the same way you treat a fracture?
No, a broken bone can include surgery while a fracture can include a cast for the body to heal the fracture itself.
What is the difference between fracture and dislocation?
A fracture is a break in a bone, while a dislocation is when two bones that meet at a joint are forced out of their normal position. Fractures can be either simple (closed) or compound (open), while dislocations involve the displacement of bones at a joint. Treatment for fractures involves immobilization and possibly surgery, while dislocations may need to be manually relocated by a healthcare provider.
What is the Restoration of a fracture or dislocation to its normal anatomic position?
Reduction is the process of restoring a fracture or dislocation to its normal anatomical position. This is often done manually by a healthcare professional to align the bones correctly. Once the reduction is achieved, the bone may be stabilized to aid in the healing process.
What type of elbow injuries are there?
Some that come to mind are fracture, dislocation, bursitis, tendinitis, laceration, arthritis, infection.
What location is a Lisfranc fracture located?
The Lisfranc fracture, also known as the Lisfranc injury, Lisfranc dislocation, is an injury of the foot in which one, or all, of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus.
A dislocation occurs at a?
Joint between bones. A fracture is the break of a bone. A dislocation does not imply that the bone itself is broken, although sometimes fractures and dislocations occur together - especially with forceful mechanisms of injury.
Realignment of the bone involved in a fracture or joint dislocation?
Manipulation or closed reduction is the procedure of realignment of the bone involved in a fracture or joint dislocation. It differs from open reduction in that the skin is not broken to realign the bone.
Why elevate an injury?
When you suspect fracture, dislocation, impaled object, or spinal injury.
