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 com-monly by sudden inversion of foot, concurrently knee is at flexion and foot is at plantar flexion. Diagnosis can be made by determin-ing 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 ap-proached conservatively; for selected cases, it is possible to carry out surgical stabilization. We have reported the case, an isolated disloca-tion of the proximal tibiofibular joint in a football player.
