This episode (traumatic most often) damages the articulation at the level of the means of union between the 2 bones concerned (ligaments, articular capsule, bone reliefs …) and augurs of recurrences or leaves the shoulder painful to the use (apprehension of a recurrence or ‘unstable painful shoulder’).
A dislocation is a loss (often brutal) of contact between the two bony parts of a joint.
Several types of luxation exist, the most frequent being by far the previous dislocations.
The occurrence of a dislocation is obviously painful and requires a reduction by the intervention of another person
If the joint is reduced spontaneously or following a slight movement on the part of the wounded one speaks then of ‘suluxation’.This episode (traumatic most often) damages the articulation at the level of the means of union between the 2 bones concerned (ligaments, articular capsule, bone reliefs …) and augurs of recurrences or leaves the shoulder painful to the use (apprehension of a recurrence or ‘unstable painful shoulder’).
