What is the difference between fracture and dislocation?

A fracture is a break in a bone, while a dislocation is when two bones that meet at a joint are forced out of their normal position. Fractures can be either simple (closed) or compound (open), while dislocations involve the displacement of bones at a joint. Treatment for fractures involves immobilization and possibly surgery, while dislocations may need to be manually relocated by a healthcare provider.


What is difference between sessile dislocation and glissile dislocation?

a sessile dislocation has a burger's vector that does notlie in the primary slip plane of the crystal, so it is immobile.a glissile dislocation has a burger's vector that doeslie in the primary slip plane of the crystal and thus is able to move in that plane.


What is the difference between edge and screw dislocations?

The main difference is: The slip vector ( Burger's vector) and the line vector, which is line of atoms that dislocated, are perpendicular to each other in case of edge dislocation. In case of screw dislocation, they are parallel to each other.


What is the relation between the path difference and phase difference?

The phase difference between two waves is directly proportional to the path difference between them. The phase difference is a measure of how much the wave has shifted along its oscillation cycle, while the path difference is a measure of the spatial separation between two points where the waves are evaluated.


What is the equation for calculating the phase difference between two waves?

The equation for calculating the phase difference between two waves is: Phase Difference (2 / ) (x) Where: Phase Difference is the difference in phase between the two waves is the wavelength of the waves x is the difference in position between corresponding points on the waves

Can a dog's tail go back to normal from a sprain?

Yes, if the sprain did not result in a dislocation the tail will be fine eventually.

Fracture - but it depends on the type of it or how severe was it.


Why is ligament repair necessary when you have a severe dislocation and sprain?

ligaments connect bones to bones. in a severe dislocation the ligaments were most likely torn and damaged


What is the difference between soft and hard tissue injuries?

a soft tissue injury is mainly a tear, strain, sprain, and swelling a hard tissue injury is serious like a broken bone, severe fractures, joint dislocation, bruising, internal bleeding


Does a dislocation occur when a twisting action tears the ligaments at a joint?

No, a dislocation is when the bones at a joint are forced out of their normal position. A tearing of ligaments due to a twisting action is more likely to cause a sprain, which is damage to the ligaments that connect bones at a joint.


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 is the difference between a muscle strain and tendons?

A sprain is an injury in which a muscle is overstretched or torn. Tendinitis is an injury that occurs when a tendon becomes inflamed or torn. That's the difference between a muscle sprain and tendinitis.


What is the difference a muscle strain and tendonitis?

A sprain is an injury in which a muscle is overstretched or torn. Tendinitis is an injury that occurs when a tendon becomes inflamed or torn. That's the difference between a muscle sprain and tendinitis.


What is the difference between a bone break and a sprain?

A sprain is damage to soft tissue, a broken bone is damage to hard tissue.


What 8 letter word is the twisting of ligament?

The word is sprain. It means wrench or twist the ligaments of violently so as to cause pain and swelling but not dislocation.


What is the between a strain and a sprain?

Strain - muscle/tendons Sprain - ligaments
