Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Subluxation: Subluxation is the medical term for a partial dislocation. You have a subluxation if something pulls your joint apart and the bones still touch, just not as completely as usual.

Detailed explanation-2: -Subluxation occurs when a bone is partially pulled or pushed out of place (out of its normal relationship to the other bones that make up a joint). This can happen in joints such as the kneecap, hip, finger, elbow, or shoulder.

Detailed explanation-3: -A dislocation is a separation of two ends of the bones where they meet at a joint. A joint is the place where two bones connect, which allows movement. A dislocated joint is a joint where the bones are no longer in their normal positions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shoulder subluxation is defined as partial or incomplete dislocation of the glenohumeral joint or translation between the humeral head and glenoid fossa while the humeral head is in contact with the glenoid fossa.
