When a joint is pushed beyond its regular position, it results in a dislocation, which is characterized by discomfort, irregular shape, swelling, and instability. Dislocations in sports can result from a direct hit or from injuries due to overuse. For instance, a soccer player might experience a shoulder dislocation following a rough tackle to the ground.
