A dislocation occurs when the ends of the bones are forcibly moved from their normal position. The most common dislocated joints are the shoulders and finger joints, but dislocations of other joints are not unheard of, such as:
Although most people would not think of ribs as joints, they are a type of joint in that they are connected to the sternum (breastbone) and spine in sockets made of cartilage. A dislocated rib is when the rib bone pops out of the socket.
Whatever the type of dislocation, these injuries are extremely painful, and relocation of the joint usually requires medical attention.
If you have experienced a dislocated joint as a result of the carelessness or negligence of others, you have every right to file suit to recover your medical expenses and lost time from work. Often, more than one responsible party can be identified, which greatly increases the amount of compensation you receive.
