Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is ''dislocating bones.''

Step-by-step explanation:

When the bone " pops out" or dislodges from its place (joint), a dislocation occurs. An ankle dislocation, like any other joint, occurs when the 2 articular surfaces of the ankle separate, in this case when the talus ( together with the rest of the foot) " pops out of place" and is no longer in contact with the surface of the tibia-fibula. This leads to the complete breakdown of the ligaments that hold the joint in place, causing the bones to " pops out." Producing significant deformities in the affected joint.
