Dislocation of joints
Dislocation is the total displacement of the articular end of the bone
from the joint cavity. The normal alignment of the bones becomes altered.
Various factors are attributed for bone and joint dislocations.
Dislocations Classification:
Dislocations are classified
1. Congenital, 2. Traumatic, 3. Pathological and 4. Paralytic.
Congenital deformities are due to geneticfactors or factors operating on the developing foetus. These are also called teratogenic or teratologic disorder.
Traumatic dislocation is due to a serious violence. It occurs in the
shoulder, elbow and hip.
Pathological dislocation is caused by some diseases like
tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of the hip may cause dislocation of the
acetabulum.
Paralytic dislocation occurs when a remarkable imbalance occurs
on the muscle power. e.g. Poliomyelitis.
