Biology

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

A fracture is a break or crack in a bone. It refers to the damage to the bone tissue itself.

A dislocation occurs when the bones that form a joint are forced out of alignment or out of their normal position. It refers to the displacement of bones at a joint, not a break in the bone itself.
