Question

A partial dislocation or misalignment of a joint is known as what?

Answer 1

A partial dislocation or misalignment of a joint is known as subluxation

This is when a joint slides out of position but can slide back in on its own. This is different to a luxation (or full dislocation) where the joint completely comes out and has to be put back in with human assistance.
