Dislocations occur when the bones that form a joint are forced out of their normal position. This can happen when a player falls or collides with another player or object, or when they make sudden, twisting movements.

Symptoms of a dislocated joint may include severe pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving the affected joint. If you suspect that you or someone else has suffered a dislocation while playing basketball, it’s important to seek medical attention right away.
