Is The cuboid bone is considered a part of the tarsus?
Yes the cuboid bone is part of the tarsal bones. There are seven in number, viz., the calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, and the first, second, and third cuneiforms.
Which injury occurs when the ends of the bones in a joint are forced out their normal positions?
Dislocation is displacement of a bone from its joint, and subluxation is partial displacement of a bone from its joint. There are many structures that hold a joint in it's place, one of these is ligament which is a rigid and somewhat flexible structure, and capsule surround a joint which is filled with synovial fluid. When a force want to displace the joint for example during jumping or anything like this these structures prevent the joint from being displaced.
What bone is proximal to the fifth metatarsal?
The cuboid is proximal to the fifth metatarsal. It's the most lateral of the tarsals.
What is pseudosubluxation of the humerus?
Subluxation is the medical term for dislocation. Pseudo- means fake. And humerus is the bone of the upper arm. So a pseudosubluxation of the humerus would be an injury to the shoulder where it appears to be dislocated but really isn't.
Incomplete dislocation of a joint is known as?

What are terms used for displacement of a bone from its joint?
Partial displacement of a bone from its joint is a medical subluxation. Complete displacement of a bone from its joint is a dislocation.

What is an avulsion fracture of the cuboid bone?
An avulsion fracture is when the bony attachment of a muscle (via the tendon) cracks the bone such that the end of the tendon is dangling with the piece of bone where it was attached. In other words, its like when you peel tape off the wall and the paint comes with it. The cuboid is one of the "tarsal" bones that shape the center of your foot. However, since no tendons attach to it ,an avulsion of the cuboid would involve a piece torn off of it by one of its ligaments.
What is subluxation of L4 and L5?
whatis anterior subluxation on L5 on S1 mean?
What is the difference between a dislocation and a subluxation?
Subluxation is a partial dislocation. A dislocation is a severe injury in which the articular surfaces of joint is no longer in contact & a subluxation is a partial or incomplete displacement of the joint surface.
What bone is proximal to the fifth metatarsal?
The cuboid is proximal to the fifth metatarsal. It's the most lateral of the tarsals.
Where would you find the cuboid bone?
the dorsal superficial and deep plantar part of the foot
What is Posterior subluxation of L5 on S1?
A posterior subluxation of L5 on S1 means that the lowest lumbar vertebra has translate posterior and is likely inferior relative to the spinous. In other words the lowest bone before your sacrum is has slipped backwards and the little bump, such as those you feel when you run your fingers over someone's vertebrae, is pointing slightly downward. A subluxation invloves a very, very small amount of displacement. Sometimes as little as a fraction of a millimeter.
