agree  Ken Cox: as my dictionary says that 'luxation' means 'dislocation', 'applying tension' sounds likely (in plain language, he pulled on it until it came loose) (glad it wasn't my jaw ;-) )

stress built-up


Explanation:
A method for forming an elastic member in a thin film actuated mirror, the method being capable of controlling a stress built up therein, is disclosed.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5702569.html

particular, we found that the intermartensitic transformation is very sensitive to the internal stress built up during the grinding process.

The ellipsometric signal reflects the stress built-up during solidification.

The conventional method to check for the compressive stress and hardness induced during shot peening and also the residual stress built-up due to grinding is the X-ray diffraction, which is a well-established technique.
