Luxation

Luxation (dislocation) occurs when significant violence is applied to the joint (possibly less violence due to predisposition), a serious disorder congruence arises. Reposition can be spontaneous, but usually the joint is dislocated.

According to the mechanism of formation, we distinguish sprains:
 * Traumatic – caused by sudden and strong violence that breaks the stabilizing fibrous structures of the joint.
 * Habitual – arises as a result of primary or secondary functional disorders or anatomical structure of the joint.
 * Pathological – with long-term changes in the joint (damage to joint surfaces in paralysis, loosening of the joint capsule in chronic inflammation).
 * Congenital - basis in the presence of congenital dysplasia (hip).

Clinical picture

 * swelling, hematoma, significant paini
 * we monitor innervation, blood supply to the periphery, momentum
 * on RTG we are investigating whether it is a luxation fracture

Therapy

 * resuspended in local or general anesthesia
 * after repositioning, we check stability and detect damage to soft tissues
 * we "immobilize" the joint
 * subsequent rehabilitation is important
