  2. Partial dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_dislocation

    Partial dislocations move freely, but in order to cross slip onto a different plane, they must first constrict to before slipping on a different plane. In order to cross slip, both partial dislocations need to change slip planes. The common Friedel-Escaig mechanism requires that the partial dislocations recombine at a point before cross ...

  3. Subluxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subluxation

    A subluxation is an incomplete or partial dislocation of a joint or organ. [1] According to the World Health Organization, a subluxation is a "significant structural displacement" and is therefore visible on static imaging studies, such as X-rays.

  4. Joint dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_dislocation

    A partial dislocation is referred to as a subluxation. Dislocations are commonly caused by sudden trauma to the joint like during a car accident or fall. A joint dislocation can damage the surrounding ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. [2] Dislocations can occur in any major joint (shoulder, knees, hips) or minor joint (toes, fingers).

  5. Dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocation

    A Frank partial dislocation is formed by inserting or removing a layer of atoms on the {111} plane which is then bounded by the Frank partial. Removal of a close packed layer is known as an intrinsic stacking fault and inserting a layer is known as an extrinsic stacking fault.

  6. Coccydynia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccydynia

    5% Anterior luxation (partial dislocation of the coccyx forwards when sitting) This study found that the pattern of lesions was different depending on the obesity of the patients: obese patients were most likely to have posterior luxation of the coccyx, while thin patients were most likely to have coccygeal spicules .

  7. Musculoskeletal injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculoskeletal_injury

    Elbow dislocation and radial head or neck fractures are common when one falls on an outstretched hand. [18] Elbow Dislocations are divided into two categories; Simple and complex. Simple dislocations are defined as soft tissue injury whereas complex involves a fracture. [18]

  8. Lomer–Cottrell junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomer–Cottrell_junction

    The sessile nature of the Lomer–Cottrell dislocation forms a strong barrier to further dislocation motion. Trailing dislocations pile up behind this junction, leading to an increase in the stress required to sustain deformation. This mechanism is a key contributor to work hardening in ductile materials like aluminum and copper. [2]

  9. Hypermobility (joints) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermobility_(joints)

    For example, their joints may be easily injured, be more prone to complete or partial dislocation due to the weakly stabilized joint and they may develop problems from muscle fatigue (as muscles must work harder to compensate for weakness in the ligaments that support the joints). Hypermobility syndromes can lead to chronic pain or even ...
