T03: Dislocations, sprains and strains involving multiple body regions
T03.0: Dislocations, sprains and strains involving head with neck
An injured joint may be dislocated, for example. The bones in the joint are then no longer properly aligned. Cartilage, ligaments or the joint capsule may also be injured. The body’s ligaments consist of tough connective tissue. Ligaments hold the joints together and ensure that we can move our joints normally. Joints are encased in a joint capsule.
