LUXATE Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "luxate" is a verb that originates from the Latin word "luxare," meaning "to dislocate." In the medical context, to luxate refers to the displacement, or partial/complete dislocation, of a bone from its normal position within a joint. This displacement can occur as a result of trauma, such as forceful impact, twisting, or sudden movements causing the joint to become unstable. Luxation can affect various joints in the body, including the shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and smaller joints like fingers and toes.

    When a joint is luxated, the normal alignment and function of the joint are disrupted, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion. In some cases, luxations may be evident externally, where the affected joint appears visibly distorted or out of place. Immediate medical attention is necessary to reduce the dislocation and prevent further damage. Healthcare professionals typically employ techniques like manual manipulation or surgical intervention, depending on the severity and complexity of the luxation.

    It is worth noting that while "luxate" is most commonly used in the medical field, this term can also be applied metaphorically to describe the displacement or dislodging of objects or abstract concepts from their usual or appropriate locations.

  2. To remove from its proper place, as a joint; to put out of joint; to dislocate.
