| disl, disloc | dislocation, dislocated |
| patellar dislocation | <radiology> most common in young girls, (genu valgum, patella alta, quad mm deficiency more in girls), lateral dislocation, spontaneous reduction, recurrent dislocation, fracture associated in 5-10% (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| perilunar dislocation | Dislocation of carpal bones around the lunate, which remains in relation to the radius; distinguish from dislocation of lunate, Kienbock's dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perilunate dislocation | <radiology> Lunate remains aligned with radius, capitate dislocates (usually posteriorly), more common than lunate dislocation (radial-lunate ligaments stronger than lunate-capitate ligaments), associated with scaphoid fractures (75%) = transscaphoid perilunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| chopart fracture-dislocation | <radiology> A fracture-dislocation occuring through the hindfoot-midfoot joint (i.e., tarsonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints) (12 Dec 1998) |
| closed dislocation | A dislocation not complicated by an external wound. Synonym: simple dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compound dislocation | Synonym: open dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wrist dislocation | <radiology> 10% of all carpal injuries due to fall on outstretched hand, perilunate dislocation (more common), lunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| shoulder dislocation | <radiology> Anterior (subcoracoid), humerus may lead to beneath coracoid process, anterior to glenoid, most frequent site and type of dislocation of any joint, easily detected, repeated dislocation most likely to be Hill-Sachs deformity and/or Bankhart deformity, posterior, 2 - 4% of shoulder dislocations, 50% due to seizures; trauma, electrical shock, often missed on AP view: use Y or axillary view, rim sign in acute dislocation, increased glenohumeral space (normal 6 mm may lead to widened to 14 mm), with or without compression fracture of anterior surface of humeral head, 20% most likely to be associated fracture (12 Dec 1998) |
| simple dislocation | A dislocation not complicated by an external wound. Synonym: simple dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Nelaton's dislocation | Wedging of the astragalus between the widely separated tibia and fibula, usually complicated with fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dequervain dislocation | <radiology> Transscaphoid lunate dissociation (12 Dec 1998) |
| desault dislocation | <radiology> Volar displacent of a dislocation of the distal radius (12 Dec 1998) |
| dislocation | <orthopaedics> The displacement of any part, more especially of a bone. Synonym: luxation. Origin: L. Locare = to place (18 Nov 1997) |
| dislocation fracture | A fracture of a bone near an articulation with its concomitant dislocation from that joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dislocation of articular processes | Complete dislocation of one or both articular processes, usually with overriding of the inferior articular process of the vertebra above into a position anterior to the superior articular process of the vertebra below. Synonym: locked facets. (05 Mar 2000) |
