A case report: Bilateral atraumatic proximal tibiofibular joint osteoarthritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Proximal tibiofibular joint osteoarthritis is a rare disease most commonly occurring in the presence of either systemic inflammatory conditions or severe knee osteoarthritis. Case Presentation: The authors present a case report of isolated bilateral tibiofibular arthrosis in an otherwise healthy 28-year-old female patient. The patient presented with complaints of lateral knee pain. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral tibiofibular joint osteoarthritis. Trauma, repetitive use injury, and rheumatologic causes were excluded. The patient’s pain was initially managed conservatively, but she subsequently underwent tibiofibular arthrodesis for progressive pain symptoms. We review in this report the current literature on tibiofibular joint osteoarthritis and its treatment. Conclusion: Isolated tibiofibular joint osteoarthritis is a rare condition that may progress and requires surgical treatment to achieve optimal clinical outcomes.

Instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint associated with total knee arthroplasty
To our knowledge, proximal tibiofibular joint instability has never been reported in a patient with a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We present the case of a patient with anterolateral proximal tibiofibular joint instability associated with a complex primary TKA. In 2010, a male patient of 47 years was referred for TKA after posttraumatic osteoarthritis. The patient's history includes a fractur...
متن کاملTraumatic dislocations of the proximal tibiofibular joint: a report of two cases.
Traumatic dislocations of the proximal tibiofibular joint are rare and difficult to diagnose. They can present as an isolated case or in association with multiple injuries. They are typically classified into subluxation, anterolateral, posteromedial, and superior dislocations. We report 2 unusual dislocations (posterolateral and inferior) of the proximal tibiofibular joint, both associated with...
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...
متن کاملIsolated dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint in a long jumper.
Acute traumatic proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation is an exceedingly rare injury. This is a case report in a rare horizontal type joint variant, following a long jump injury. The diagnostic approach when this injury is suspected is described.
متن کاملDislocation of the fibular head in an unusual sports injury: a case report
INTRODUCTION One of the primary functions of the proximal tibiofibular joint is slight rotation to accommodate rotational stress at the ankle. Proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation is a rare injury and accounts for less than 1% of all knee injuries. This dislocation has been reported in patients who had been engaged in football, ballet dancing, equestrian jumping, parachuting and snowboarding...
