* Patellar luxation

Patellar luxation is no major problem in most countries at the moment, but is kept under a close watch to prevent it from becoming a problem again.

Patellar luxation, also known as luxating patella, is a hereditary disorder affecting the knees.

Patellar luxation is another condition which affects 6. 2 % of Bulldogs.

Patellar luxation can affect either or both legs.

Patellar luxation is a common condition in dogs, particularly small and miniature breeds.

Patellar luxation is less common in cats than in dogs.

Achilles tendinitis is a common injury, particularly in sports that involve lunging and jumping, while Patellar tendinitis is a common among basketball and volleyball players owing to the amount of jumping and landing.

Patellar tendinitis ( patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee ), is a relatively common cause of pain in the inferior patellar region in athletes.

Patellar Lunation, also known as luxating patella, refers to the dislocation of the kneecap.

In addition to back problems, the breed is also prone to patellar luxation which is where the kneecap can become dislodged.

Lens luxation, also known as ectopia lentis is the most common hereditary disorder in Jack Russell terriers.

Posterior luxation is the less severe of the two types, as the eye can appear normal although the dog's eyesight will be affected.

Secondary lens luxation is caused by trauma to the eye, and is not hereditary.

* Retrolisthesis is a posterior displacement of one vertebral body with respect to the adjacent vertebral segment to a degree less than a luxation ( dislocation ).

In the medical community, dislocation is commonly referred to as luxation.

It is affected by few breed specific breed disorders, with the only two prevalent conditions being lens luxation and canine degenerative myelopathy.

Most cases of patellar luxation are medial and this is frequently a congenital problem in toy and miniature breed dogs.

Although the specific cause of patellar luxation is unknown in these cases, it is generally agreed that a defect in hind limb conformation is the underlying cause.

The patella remains luxated until it is manually reduced or when the animal extends the joint and derotates the tibia in the opposite direction of luxation ;

The femoral trochlear groove is shallow or absent, and there is displacement of the quadriceps muscle group in the direction of luxation.

A retrolisthesis is a posterior displacement of one vertebral body with respect to the adjacent vertebrae to a degree less than a luxation ( dislocation ).

Hip dysplasia is a defect in the shape of the hip joint which can, depending on the degree of hip luxation, be quite painful to the dog as it ages.

* 22 % Posterior luxation ( partial dislocation of the coccyx backwards when sitting )

* 5 % Anterior luxation ( partial dislocation of the coccyx forwards when sitting )

Joint dislocation, or luxation ( Latin: luxatio ), occurs when bones in a joint become displaced or misaligned.

Non-eye breed related conditions which may affect a Parson are deafness and patella luxation.

There are two types, posterior luxation ( where the lens slips to the back of the eye ) and anterior luxation ( where the lens slips forward ).

Both are important in the analysis of stress for a polarized dielectric solid under the action of an electric field, materials where the molecular structure is taken into consideration ( e. g. bones ), solids under the action of an external magnetic field, and the dislocation theory of metals.

An edge dislocation is shown.

The dislocation line is presented in blue, the Burgers vector b in black.

The screw dislocation is more difficult to visualise, but basically comprises a structure in which a helical path is traced around the linear defect ( dislocation line ) by the atomic planes of atoms in the crystal lattice.

For an edge type, b is perpendicular to the dislocation line, whereas in the cases of the screw type it is parallel.

Screw dislocations may slip in the direction of any lattice plane containing the dislocation, while the principal driving force for " dislocation climb " is the movement or diffusion of vacancies through a crystal lattice.

Exercise to shoulder and elbow to increase motion following fracture and dislocation of humerus is being given by an Army therapist to a soldier patient. Photo by United States Women's Bureau Year: 1940-1945Source: National Archives and Records Administration | NARA historical fund.

From Jung's perspective, this replacement of God with the state in a mass society led to the dislocation of the religious drive and resulted in the same fanaticism of the church-states of the Dark Ages — wherein the more the state is ' worshipped ', the more freedom and morality are suppressed ; this ultimately leaves the individual psychically undeveloped with extreme feelings of marginalization.

In Marfan the dislocation is typically superotemporal whereas in the similar condition homocystinuria, the dislocation is inferonasal.

Many experts believe that lifelong physiotherapy is crucial to maintain muscle tone, bone structure, and prevent dislocation of the joints.

The pain is like that of a dislocation, and yet parts feel as if cold water were poured over them.

The perturbation carried by the dislocation ( Burgers vector ) is along a dense direction.

It is often hard to recognize thrusts because their deformation and dislocation can be difficult to detect when they occur within the same rocks without appreciable offset of lithological contacts.

With Adamov and Beckett it really is a very naked reality that is conveyed through the apparent dislocation of language ".

For heavy duty cremators having an inner sacrificial layer of refractory material, often cracks, slagging, bulging and dislocation can be seen on this layer shortly after the cremator is put into use.

The duration of the Pleistocene lakes was brief as compared with the time since the dislocation of the faulted blocks, as is shown by the small dimensions of the lacustrine beaches compared to the great volume of the ravine-heading fans on which the beaches often lie.
