Luxation is a medical term for DISLOCATION, which is the displacement of a bone from its normal position in a joint. It occurs when the ligaments that hold the bones together are stretched or torn, resulting in pain and impaired movement. Luxation can be caused by trauma, such as a fall or a car accident, or it can be caused by repetitive strain or overuse. Treatment for luxation typically involves immobilizing the joint, reducing the displacement, and then strengthening the muscles around the joint to prevent further injury.
