In materials science, a dislocation or Taylor's dislocation is a linear crystallographic defect or irregularity within a crystal structure that contains...

joint dislocation, also called luxation, occurs when there is an abnormal separation in the joint, where two or more bones meet. A partial dislocation is...

A patellar dislocation is a knee injury in which the patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position. Often the knee is partly bent, painful and swollen...

Cervical dislocation is a common method of animal euthanasia. It refers to a technique used in physical euthanasia of small animals by applying pressure...

partial dislocation is a decomposed form of dislocation that occurs within a crystalline material. An extended dislocation is a dislocation that has...

A hip dislocation is when the thighbone (femur) separates from the hip bone (pelvis). Specifically it is when the ball–shaped head of the femur (femoral...

deviations of a dislocation defect along its glide plane. In edge dislocations, the constant glide plane allows short regions of the dislocation to turn, converting...

A knee dislocation is an injury in which there is disruption of the knee joint between the tibia and the femur. Symptoms include pain and instability...

Atlanto-occipital dislocation, orthopedic decapitation, or internal decapitation describes ligamentous separation of the spinal column from the skull...

In syntax, dislocation is a sentence structure in which a constituent, which could otherwise be either an argument or an adjunct of the clause, occurs...

respect to the subjacent vertebra to a degree less than a luxation (dislocation). Retrolistheses are most easily diagnosed on lateral x-ray views of...

Dislocations occur when two bones that originally met at the joint detach. Dislocations should not be confused with subluxation. Subluxation is when the...

Dislocation creep is a deformation mechanism in crystalline materials. Dislocation creep involves the movement of dislocations through the crystal lattice...

fully cover the ball portion, resulting in an increased risk for joint dislocation. Hip dysplasia may occur at birth or develop in early life. Regardless...

shoulder dislocation will not experience recurrent dislocations. It has been shown that patients who do not receive surgery after a shoulder dislocation do...

dislocation creep: dislocations move via glide and climb, and the speed of glide is the dominant factor on strain rate Climb-controlled dislocation creep:...

on the application. This strengthening occurs because of dislocation movements and dislocation generation within the crystal structure of the material...

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms.: 1.1  It is the foundation of all quantum...

computationally expensive, discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulates the movement of dislocation lines. The overall goal of dislocation dynamics is to determine...

Dislocation Blues is a collaborative studio album, credited to American singer-songwriter and guitarist, Chris Whitley and Australian musician, Jeff Lang...

Geometrically necessary dislocations are like-signed dislocations needed to accommodate for plastic bending in a crystalline material. They are present...

that grain boundaries are insurmountable borders for dislocations and that the number of dislocations within a grain has an effect on how stress builds up...

deformity in the shoulder is also common depending on how severe the dislocation is. It is most commonly due to a fall onto the front and upper part of...

rotating bone joints Recurrent dislocation of shoulder Apprehension sign The lesion is associated with anterior shoulder dislocation. When the humerus is driven...

its normal location. A partial dislocation of a lens is termed lens subluxation or subluxated lens; a complete dislocation of a lens is termed lens luxation...

These symptoms may persist for up to eight weeks. Initial signs of a dislocation include abnormal joint angulation (bones pointing at abnormal angles...

Collins–Pope syndrome, also known as Dislocation of the hip-dysmorphism syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder which is characterized...

distortion resulting from a dislocation in a crystal lattice. The vector's magnitude and direction is best understood when the dislocation-bearing crystal structure...

Frank–Read source is a mechanism explaining the generation of multiple dislocations in specific well-spaced slip planes in crystals when they are deformed...

impurity phase, which impede the movement of dislocations, or defects in a crystal's lattice. Since dislocations are often the dominant carriers of plasticity...
