to align/reposition dislocated joint
Explanation:
Should I try to "pop it back in"?

No, never try to reposition a dislocated joint yourself because this can easily cause additional damage to the surrounding tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. - http://www.babycenter.com/0_dislocated-elbow_1388208.bc

--------

Dislocation/ fractures

1. Realignment

a. Typically dislocated joints should be immobilized in the position of injury and transported for reduction
b. Delayed or prolonged transport requires a different approach
c. An attempt to reposition any dislocated joint into anatomical position should be made if distal circulation is impaired and if transportation is long or prolonged - https://www.health.ny.gov/professionals/ems/original/trauma/...

---------------

Do not attempt to reposition the dislocated joint. - http://goo.gl/hwlEPd

set a broken bone/ dislocated joint


Explanation:
Staw chyba bardziej można zwichnąć (dislocate) niż złamać; chociaż potocznie mówi się, że "złamałam staw skokowy", złamać można co najwyżej kości, które do tego stawu należą, a nie sam staw. "Ręka" natomiast jest trochę zbyt ogólna tutaj: złamaliśmy kość czy zwichnęliśmy staw? Nie bardzo rozumiem co znaczy "nastawić sobie rękę".
