An isolated proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation in a young male playing soccer: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint is a rare injury. We present a 23-year-old caucasian man who sustained a traumatic anterolateral dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint. There is no consenus on definitive management, and we review the different published treatment and rehabilitation regimens for this injury. Our patient was successfully treated by open reduction and temporary Kirschner-wire fixation. The authors recommend their structured rehabilitation process involved using cast brace immobilization as allows for excellent soft tissue healing.

متن کاملIsolated Proximal Tibiofibular Dislocation during Soccer
Proximal tibiofibular dislocations are rarely encountered in the Emergency Department (ED). We present a case involving a man presenting to the ED with left knee pain after making a sharp left turn on the soccer field. His physical exam was only remarkable for tenderness over the lateral fibular head. His X-rays showed subtle abnormalities of the tibiofibular joint. The dislocation was reduced ...

We describe a case of isolated proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation in a 20 years old girl following trauma. Dislocation was reduced through a new and simple reduction technique after failure of classic reduction maneuver. This technique by using isokinetic movements lead to relax the fibular collateral ligament and allow the biceps tendon to snap the proximal end of the fibula back into the...

متن کاملProximal tibiofibular dislocation: a case report and review of literature
An isolated dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint is uncommon. The mechanism of this injury is usually sports related. We present a case where initial X-rays did not show the tibiofibular joint dislocation conclusively. It was diagnosed after comparative bilateral AP X-rays of the knees were obtained. A closed reduction was performed and followed by unrestricted mobilization after 1 we...
