U. t. c. prnl. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2007-09-12 17:02:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Joint dislocation (Latin: luxatio) [1] occurs when bones in a joint become displaced or misaligned. It is often caused by a sudden impact to the joint. The ligaments always become damaged as a result of a dislocation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_dislocation http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000014.htm |
