Dislocation occurs when the ends of bones are forced out of position.

• A. Dislocation
• B. Sprain
• C. Strains
• D. Tendonitis

Answer: (A)

Dislocation is when the ends of bones are forced out of their normal position at a joint, causing visible deformity, severe pain and a loss of normal joint movement. This exact description matches a joint where the bones are no longer aligned, which is why it’s the correct term. A sprain refers to damage to ligaments around a joint without the bones losing alignment, a strain to muscle or tendon, and tendonitis to inflammation of a tendon from overuse. If a dislocation is suspected, immobilize the limb, apply ice, and seek urgent medical care; do not try to realign the joint yourself.
