At dislocations there is a breach of integrity articular surfaces . Moreover, this can be both a consequence of injuries, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system , for example, when arthritis or when arthrosis . With a dislocation, a person feels severe pain, swelling develops, the damaged joint takes an unnatural everted position, and mobility is significantly limited.

First aid in such a situation may be:

• fixation of the limb in the "correct" position with the help of a splint;
• cold (ice or cold compress).

For the treatment of dislocations, as with sprains, painkillers and anti-inflammatory ointments are used ( Lidocoin, Venoturon-gel, Bystrumgel, Voltaren Emulgel, Fastum gel, Nise gel, Ketonal ).

It is worth noting that this injury requires a fairly long period of time for a full recovery. It is strictly forbidden to set the dislocation on your own.
