Be able to explain the anatomic basis of joint disorders noted in textbook reading.
Dislocation, or luxation, is a painful displacement of articulating bones that temporarily deforms and immobilizes the joint. Subluxation is less severe, as it is only an incompletedislocation.
Luxation is the loss of bony contact on surfaces, a full dislocation
Subluxation is the lost part of bone contact, a partial dislocation
