= Partial dislocation
{wiki=Partial_dislocation}
Partial dislocation, also known as subluxation, refers to a situation in which a bone is partially displaced from its normal anatomical position in a joint. Unlike a complete dislocation, where the bones are fully separated from their joint surfaces, a partial dislocation involves a situation where the joint surfaces remain in contact but are misaligned. This can lead to pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the affected joint.
