Subluxated hip is the only option used to identify the condition when the hip maintains contact with the acetabulum but is not well seated within the hip joint. The dislocatable hip is sometimes located properly but can dislocate easily. A dislocated hip is out of its socket. "Subluxable" is often used interchangeably with subluxated.
