A Rare Dislocation: Isolated Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Dislocation
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Isolated dislocation of proximal tibiofibular joint is one of the rarely encountered and easily overlooked traumas in ER departments. Injury mechanism can not be elucidated entirely; however it occurs commonly by sudden inversion of foot, concurrently knee is at flexion and foot is at plantar flexion. Diagnosis can be made by determining swelling and sensitivity increase at proximal tibia with comparing healthy side and radiological imaging techniques. Treatment is still a challenging and controversial issue and most of the cases are approached conservatively; for selected cases, it is possible to carry out surgical stabilization. We have reported the case, an isolated dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint in a football player.
