An anterior shoulder dislocation occurs when the shoulder slides forward out of the socket. It is usually the result of a sports injury, fall, or traffic accident. This shoulder injury is the most ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...

A map of the crystal structure of the alloy made with electron backscatter diffraction in a scanning electron microscope. Each color represents a section of the crystal where the repeating structure ...

Shoulder instability occurs when the arm’s ball joint moves in and out of the shoulder socket joint. Chronically unstable shoulders can lead to loose shoulder joints that slip out of place repeatedly.

Your body is made up of hundreds of joints. These joints attach bones together and help your body move. The sternoclavicular joint is one of four joints in your shoulder. When the sternoclavicular ...

A dislocation is a joint injury in which the bones are forced out of their usual positions and are completely separated. Your joints are where two or more bones meet. It can be hard to tell if a bone ...

Research has shown that face-centered cubic (fcc) composites with high-density and nanoscale deformation twins can greatly improve the balance of ductility and strength. Still, the microscopic ...
