Meanings of joint derangement in English

We determined the concentrations of VEGF in synovial fluid of patients with symptomatic internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

The well accepted theory of the mechanism for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounding is the internal derangement typically characterized by disc displacement.

The law of nations, therefore, respecting the rights of those at peace, does not require from them such an internal derangement in their occupations.

Methods: Diluted synovial fluid was collected by a pumping procedure from 22 TMJs of patients with internal derangement and 10 control TMJs.

They have assumed that if internal derangements could be straightened out, there would be little or no confusion about what is the obviously normal relationship.
