| 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) |
| dislocation of lens | Congenital displacement of the lens resulting from defective zonule formation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| open dislocation | A dislocation complicated by a wound opening from the surface down to the affected joint. Synonym: compound dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kienbock's dislocation | Dislocation of semilunar bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| knee cap dislocation | <orthopaedics> A dislocation of the knee cap most often occurs with the knee cap moving laterally (toward the outer aspect of the leg). Features include a partially flexed knee joint with obvious displacement of the knee cap laterally. Reduction is accomplished with knee joint extension and gently coaxing the knee cap back to the midline. (17 Dec 1997) |
| fracture dislocation | Dislocation associated with or accompanied by a fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lisfranc fracture-dislocation | <radiology> Tarsal-metatarsal fracture-dislocation, trauma, diabetes (neuropathic) (12 Dec 1998) |
| lunate dislocation | A wrist joint injury characterised by dislocation of the lunate. (27 Sep 1997) |
| arthroplasty, replacement, hip | Replacement of the hip joint. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bursitis, hip | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are two major bursae of the hip. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
