The potential complications associated with malpositioned wisdom teeth are not in question.

Metallosis has also been observed in some patients either sensitive to the implant or for unknown reasons even in the absence of malpositioned prosthesis.

An ophthalmologic subluxation is called ectopia lentis, an ocular condition characterized by a displaced or malpositioned lens within the eye.

With a pollicization the malpositioned thumb is repositioned, rotated and shortened, the above-described rotation reduction osteotomy of the first metacarpal can be performed as well.

While some specialists say, "Don't bother them until they bother you," most believe it is better to get malpositioned wisdom teeth out when you are young and healthy, since they are likely to cause trouble eventually.

Surgical causes of endothelial failure include both acute intraoperative trauma as well as chronic postoperative trauma, such as from a malpositioned intraocular lens or retained nuclear fragment in the anterior chamber.

They include serious chronic illness or active herpes infection in the mother, a pregnancy that has gone beyond 42 weeks, premature rupture of the amniotic membranes (which greatly increases the risk of infection) and blockage of the birth canal by a malpositioned placenta.
