Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of thorax - what does this mean

Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of the thorax are injuries that occur when the ligaments and joints of the thorax are overstretched, torn or pulled beyond their normal range of motion. these injuries can result from trauma, overuse, or improper use of the thoracic area. symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited range of motion. treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, elevation, and physical therapy.

What happens during the disease - dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of thorax

Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of thorax is caused by sudden, forceful or repetitive movements of the thorax that can cause overstretching or tearing of the supporting ligaments, tendons and muscles. this can be caused by a sudden impact or fall, or by repetitive activities such as throwing, lifting, or carrying heavy objects. the injury can cause inflammation, pain, swelling, bruising, and decreased range of motion in the affected area. in severe cases, the injury can cause complete dislocation of the joint and/or fracture of the bones in the area.
