the act of disrupting an established order so it fails to continue; "the social dislocations resulting from government policies"; "his warning came after the breakdown of talks in London"
a dislocation occurs when extreme force is put on a ligament causing the two bone ends to separate Dislocations can also affect a joint, the point where two or more bones come together The joint is created as a "ball-and-socket" joint A dislocated joint causes the head of the bone (ball) to partially or completely come out of the socket
A linear defect in a crystal lattice. Because dislocations can shift within the crystal lattice, they tend to weaken the material, compared to a perfect crystal
The act of dislocating, or putting out of joint; also, the condition of being thus displaced
Say: dis-low-cay-shun We all have places on our bodies that bend, like elbows and knees These bend-y places are called joints Sometimes, when a bone get pulled out of its joint because of a fall or other accident, it's called a dislocation To fix it, a doctor has to put the bone back into the joint and let it heal
an event that results in a displacement or discontinuity a displacement of a part (especially a bone) from its normal position (as in the shoulder or the vertebral column)
A type of defect found in crystal lattices For a triangular lattice - a pair of vertices with coordination number five and seven respectively (recollect that a normal vertex on a triangular lattice has a coordination number of six )
The appearance of a defect in a crystal which results from an incomplete sheet of atoms
In crystallography, a type of lattice imperfection whose existence in metals is postulated in order to account for the phenomenon of crystal growth and of slip, particularly for the low value of shear stress required to initiate slip
Dislocation is a situation in which something such as a system, process, or way of life is greatly disturbed or prevented from continuing as normal. Millions of refugees have suffered a total dislocation of their lives. = disruption. Displacement of the bones of a joint. It disrupts the ligaments, muscles, and capsule (encasing membrane) holding the joint in place. The joint, painful and tender, appears misshapen and swollen, with discoloration of the overlying skin. The patient cannot use the joint and often feels a grating or grinding sensation on trying to move it. The bones must be returned to their normal position (reduction) and the joint kept immobile until healed. Recurrent and congenital dislocations usually require surgical reconstruction
Displacement of an organ or any part; specifically disturbance or disarrangement of the normal relation of the bones entering the formation of a joint
