=== Classification === Dislocations can either be full, referred to as luxation, or partial, referred to as subluxation. Simple dislocations are dislocations without an associated fracture, while complex dislocations have an associated fracture.<ref name="Wolters Kluwer_2020">{{Cite book |title=Rockwood and Green's fractures in adults |date=2020 |publisher=Wolters Kluwer |isbn=978-1-4963-8651-9 | veditors = Tornetta P |edition=9th |location=Philadelphia }}</ref> Depending on the type of joint involved (i.e. ball-and-socket, hinge), the dislocation can further be classified by anatomical position, such as an anterior hip dislocation.<ref name="Wolters Kluwer_2020" /> Joint dislocations are named based on the distal component in relation to the proximal one.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Introduction to Trauma X-ray - Dislocation injury |url=https://www.radiologymasterclass.co.uk/tutorials/musculoskeletal/trauma/trauma_x-ray_page6 |access-date=15 February 2018 |website=www.radiologymasterclass.co.uk |language=en-US}}</ref>
