Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subluxation refers to a partial dislocation, where a bone partially comes out of its joint but not completely. This can cause pain and limited range of motion, but the affected bone is still in contact with the joint. Dislocation (A) is when the bone is completely out of its joint, while forced wrenching or twisting of a joint (B) is a type of injury that can lead to subluxation but is not a definition of subluxation itself. Loss of alignment resulting in some deformity of a long bone (D) is not a description of subluxation.
