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.

Pseudosubluxation of the humerus is a term used to describe the appearance of joint displacement at the shoulder in children, often due to ligament laxity and the anatomy of the developing shoulder joint. It is a normal finding in children under the age of 8 and does not represent true joint dislocation. It is important to differentiate between pseudosubluxation and true dislocation to avoid unnecessary treatment.
