A dislocation is an abnormal, total or partial displacement of the articular portions of the bones entering into the formation of a joint from each other. Dislocations are classified as traumatic, congenital, and pathological. A partial or incomplete dislocation is called subluxation. An habitual dislocation is a dislocation frequently following insignificant trauma or muscular action, voluntary or involuntary. A compound dislocation is one in which there is a wound connecting the dislocation with the external air.
