Sprain - damage to the ligaments of the joint associated with their overstretching.
Dislocation - persistent displacement of the articular ends of the bones beyond their normal mobility, sometimes with rupture of the articular bag and ligaments and the exit of the articular end of one of the bones from the articular bag.
Causes. Stretching of the ligaments of the knee or ankle joint occurs when the foot is twisted when walking or running, or when falling. Dislocations (shoulder, elbow and hip joints) arise from excessive or unusual movement of the given joint.
Manifestations. When stretching - a sharp pain in the joint, aggravated by movement, swelling and bruising in the joint area. With dislocation - acute pain, a change in the shape of the joint, the impossibility of movements in it or their limitation. Dislocation requires the mandatory installation of the articular ends of the bones in correct position, that is, repositions.
Folk remedies for sprains and dislocations:
* Pour 3 teaspoons of twisted cornflower flowers with 0.5 liters of boiling water, leave for 1 hour, then strain. Drink a decoction of 1/2 cup 3 times a day. This recipe is very effective remedy when the ligaments are stretched.
* A mixture of fresh or baked onion pulp and sugar, taken in a ratio of 1:10, should be applied to the ligament damaged by stretching for 5-6 hours. Then the bandage needs to be changed.

Very frequent injuries, as they occur as a result of performing frequent habitual activities during sports or work, as well as in everyday life. The first thing to do is to note the presence of a dislocation, to promote its early recovery and to protect yourself from the consequences.
TO stretching include partial damage and incomplete rupture of the capsule of the ligaments that strengthen the joint. Sprains happen because of a sudden sudden movement or injury, dislocation, or if a person stumbles: the only cause of a sprain is such a load on the joint that he cannot withstand. Any joint can be stretched, but most sprains occur on ankle, since each of them accounts for half the weight of a person. Sprains also occur. knee joint and finger joints, but these injuries are more common in athletes.
First stretch syndrome - strong pain that appears suddenly and does not subside until the moment of immobilization of the joint; when it comes to the ankle, then the foot should be placed on the floor. The affected ligament gradually becomes inflamed, swollen and swollen, the leg with the damaged ligament turns red and becomes hot. This happens because hematomas form at the site of the rupture or sprain of the ligaments: the blood vessels are damaged, and internal hemorrhage occurs - the cause of the hematomas.
The first thing to do is to immobilize the damaged joint and raise the limb higher. To prevent inflammation and the formation of internal hematomas, cold compresses or an ice bag should be applied to the stretched ligament. It is worth applying ice or applying cold compresses for half an hour, then when the stretch zone becomes hot again, it is worth resuming the compresses.
It will be appropriate to consult a doctor and consult about fractures and dislocations in the affected joint; try to leave the injured joint alone and not move it while you are being taken to the hospital. If it is impossible to quickly apply for medical help, you need to apply a slightly compressive bandage to the damaged joint to immobilize it.
1. Do not move a limb with a damaged joint and keep it in an elevated position.
2. Apply cold compresses or an ice bag to the joint for no more than half an hour.
3. Apply a lightly compressive bandage and go to the health care provider.
Dislocation- This is a complete displacement of the articular surfaces of the bones that form the joint; usually dislocations are accompanied by rupture of the joint capsule. Frequent cause of dislocation- traumatism, entailing the separation of the component parts of the joint and displacement of the bone. The first dislocation syndrome is pain that appears immediately after injury and makes it difficult or impeding movement of the damaged joint. On the other hand, depending on the type of stretching and the degree of displacement of the bone segment as a result of dislocation, it is possible to lose the ability to perform any movements with the damaged joint, since in this case it will be severely deformed.
