dislocation (Latin: luxatio) of a
joint or
organ.A dislocation of any joint will usually need
medical attention to help relocate or reduce the joint.
Nursemaid's elbow is the subluxation of the head of the

shoulders,
fingers, and
kneecaps.
Ophthalmology
A
subluxation refers to
ectopia lentis, an ocular condition characterized by a displaced or malpositioned
lens within the
eye. Although a relatively rare disorder, subluxated lenses are frequently found in those who have had ocular trauma and those with certain systemic disorders, such as
Marfan syndrome and
homocystinuria. Some subluxated lenses may require removal, as in the case of those that float freely or those that have opacified to form
cataracts.
Chiropractic
A
vertebral subluxation is defined as a relatively common condition in which a
spinal vertebra has lost its proper juxtaposition with one or both of its neighboring vertebrae. While not as extreme as a luxation, a subluxation can cause interference to the nervous system. The WHO considers the degree of structural displacement to not necessarily be "visible on
static imaging studies."
