What Does Dislocation Mean?

Dislocation

Say: dis-lo-KAY-shun

We all have places on our bodies that bend, called joints. A dislocation is when one or more bones at a joint moves out of place. A bone can get pulled out of its joint from a fall or some other accident. To fix it, a doctor has to put the bone back into the joint and let it heal.
