Question

Why do dislocations take place in sports?

Answer 1

Dislocations take place in sports mainly due to forceful impact, falls, collisions and abnormal movements of a joint. They occur when the opposing surfaces of a joint are displaced from their normal position. The joint capsule may rupture and the joint surfaces of the bones may move out of place. Dislocations are common in sports such as wrestling, high jump, baseball, water polo, throwing events, volleyball, swimming and gymnastics.
