Proximal tibiofibular dislocation associated with fracture of the tibia: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION We report a case of proximal tibiofibular dislocation associated with an ipsilateral tibial fracture, a rare association of injuries that can remain undiagnosed. CASE PRESENTATION A white 23-year-old man experienced a road accident and was diagnosed with proximal tibiofibular dislocation associated with an open fracture of the tibia and injury to the external popliteus sciatic nerve. He was treated immediately with an intramedullary tibial nail and a cancellous screw at the level of the proximal tibiofibular articulation. CONCLUSION In addition to this case and the surgical treatment, a review of the clinical cases described in the literature is provided, assessing the type of injury and the therapeutic options used, which depend mainly on the stage in which the condition is diagnosed.
