Dislocation of any joint means that the one part of the joint has come out of it's normal position. It's like the chain of a bicycle coming out of it's cogs.
It's a pure mechanical thing and can never be the cause of any cancer.
Cancer is a condition in which your own cells start multiplying very fast in an unrestricted way. Both are unrelated conditions.
Health Tips
Smoking and chewing tobacco causes cancer, not dislocation.
